The 21-year-old actress’ new film, The Hunger Games, brought in a lot of money during midnight screenings on Thursday night/Friday morning.

According to THR, the flick opened in more than 2,500 theaters, and scored the best midnight gross ever for a nonsequel and the seventh-best midnight gross overall. The all-time record, however, still belongs to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows � Part 2.
