Box Office: 'Pitch Perfect 2' Leaves 'Mad Max: Fury Road' in the Dust Posted: LINDSEY BAHR, Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) - The ladies of "Pitch Perfect 2" hit all the right notes opening weekend, amassing a huge $70.3 million debut, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The Elizabeth Banks-directed sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit and video on demand phenomenon cost Universal Pictures only $29 million to produce. The first film, however, grossed only $65 million domestically across its entire run. George Miller's critically acclaimed "Mad Max: Fury Road" claimed a distant second place in its debut weekend with a solid and expected $44.4 million. The high-octane film cost a reported $150 million to make and stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy. Holdovers "Avengers: Age of Ultron," ''Hot Pursuit," and "Furious 7" claimed the rest of the spots in the top five. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
