Anna Kendrick Wins ‘Hot & Funny’ Award Despite ‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Delay
Anna Kendrick and Adam DeVine reunite outside Pitch Perfect 3 as they grace the stage of the Guys Choice Awards.
Pitch Perfect has become such a phenomenal success that the one-time movie turned into a full-blown franchise after its immense success in 2012 for Pitch Perfect, raking in $117 million, and then again in 2015 for Pitch Perfect 2 after hitting $285 million worldwide. Everyone adored Pitch Perfect so much that Pitch Perfect 3 was announced right alongside Pitch Perfect 2, with a schedule date of July, 2017. But it seems drama and more aca-imperfections are delaying the third installment of the franchise, bringing it from the original July 21, 2017, date to a later August 4, 2017, date (after Pacific Rim announced its second installment), then back again to July 21 (so as not not to coincide with Alien: Covenant).

What could’ve brought the delay in the schedule? Whatever it is, it seems Elizabeth Banks is not happy with the delay. Elizabeth Banks directorial debut happened when she directed Pitch Perfect 2, and then she was again responsible for directing Pitch Perfect 3. Now that the schedule is pushed to December, the Inquisitrreports that Elizabeth Banks will not be able to direct the film after all. Banks announced the following.
“The new schedule butts up against my parental responsibilities in a way I’m not really comfortable with.”
Variety, however, confirms that Banks and her husband, Max Handelman, will not completely let go of the film. Banks and Handelman will stay on as the producers of the film.
Though I won’t be directing #PitchPerfect3, I’ll continue to oversee PP3 as Producer & return as ‘GAIL’. Prepare for a very #MerryPitchmas!

Banks adds the following.
“Development always takes longer than you expect it to. We feel obligated to put out the absolute best next movie…”
However, despite the fact that Pitch Perfect 3 is delayed and Elizabeth Banks has removed her director hat, the Pitch Perfect cast continues their optimism towards the project. Anna Kendrick just recently bagged herself an astounding award that only proves how her looks and jokes are always pitch perfect.
Last Saturday night at Spike TV’s 10th Annual Guys Choice Awards, Anna Kendrick bags the “Hot & Funny” award just to prove how she is not only beautiful, but also full of wits.
“Why do you have a blue pixie-cut wig?” “Because it was 25 dollars, and I had 25 dollars.” #OrganizingDay

I own entirely too many brassieres. I only have the one set of boobs, I don’t know who I think I’m kidding. #OrganizingDay

That bottle of wine that you have in case of a “special occasion” and how 7pm starts to feel real “special” when you got no other booze

We just love Anna Kendrick — as much as those at the Annual Guys Choice Awards, of course. Dressed to impress, Anna Kendrick came to Spike TV’s 10th Annual Guys Choice Awards in her beautiful form-fitting white dress with a thigh-high slit. To sprinkle some of her Kendrick-style badass, she wears over it a black leather jacket. How very Beca! She receives the award alongside her Pitch Perfect co-star Adam Devine, who was hosting the Guys Choice Awards.
Watch our for Anna Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, alongside other fan-favorites Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy and Brittany Snow as Chloe Beale, in Pitch Perfect 3, coming to cinemas worldwide in December, 2017.
