One thing that stood out is Pitch Perfect 2 is performing way ahead of the original. Pitch Perfect finished at $65 million in the US, Pitch Perfect 2 is already at $83 million. My guess is the film found its audience on DVD and grew into big cult hit and that audience came out in force.
As for Mad Max, while the buzz has been overwhelmingly positive, I think the R rating and doing a sequel 30 years after the third one combined with less marketing hurt it. Still, I think it could find its own audience on DVD and wouldn't be surprised if a sequel performed much better in 3-4 years.
