The Hunger Games franchise launched Jennifer Lawrence into stardom, making her one of the most sought-after and profitable actresses in Hollywood. She starred as Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of The Hunger Games book trilogy, in the movie adaptation, and thanks to the success of the first film, Lionsgate ordered three more movies, all featuring Lawrence, of course. She was the face of the franchise, and as such, Lawrence was paid what she was worth for being the first person on the call sheet for all four films.
