In the musical-comedy genre, the "Pitch Perfect" franchise is one of the form's most successful outputs, with the original 2012 flick earning $115.4 million worldwide against a $17 budget, spawning two sequels (2015's "Pitch Perfect 2" and 2017's "Pitch Perfect 3") and amplifying the Hollywood wattage of stars Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Rebel Wilson.
And in the decade-plus since the collegiate comedy — which follows an all-female a cappella group as they work to beat a rival all-male group and win the International Collegiate A Cappella Championship — first hit theaters, it's endured as a fan favorite, proven by the recent resurgence of both "Pitch Perfect" and "Pitch Perfect 2" in the current Netflix top 10 list.
