Since the movie's April 15th release on The Disney Channel, the film has become cable's No. 1 original movie of 2011 and has reached over 20 million total viewers. The soundtrack recently hit No. 1 on iTunes and No. 4 on the Billboard 200 top album chart, ranking right up there with Adele, "Glee" and Foo Fighters. Not bad company to be in.
Zap2it spoke with the cast of "Lemonade Mouth" including Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Hayley Kiyoko, Blake Michael, Nick Roux and Chris Brochu, as they prepared to meet with fans and sign some autographs at Downtown Disney Event on Monday (May 2).
So with the roaring success of what we hope becomes a franchise for the Mouse House, is there a sequel in the works?
Among a chorus of "Hopefully!" "We hope so!" and "Fingers crossed!" responses, Michael says "It's all up to the fans, it's in their hands. If people enjoy it and they love it and they want more, they'll get it."
When asked if Disney might be ready to green light the project, Michael continues, "I think Disney is just a great organization in general and they're always one step ahead of the game. So you never really know what's gonna happen."
Personally, we'd love to see these kids hit the road for some live performances. Apparently, they share the same sentiment.
"We would love to do that," Mendler gushes. "We performed for the first time live on 'Good Morning America' as a group and it was a blast!"
Are you ready for a "Lemonade Mouth" sequel? How do you think the band stacks up against former Disney rockers?
