The blockbuster film has provided a boon to the tourism industry in North Carolina, where it was shot, according to Friday's Today show. Fans are flocking to locations such as the Henry River Mill Village, an abandoned mill town outside Charlotte, which is home to the set pieces that were used as Katniss's house and Peeta's bakery.

"I think I was [Team] Gale until he started getting a little too trigger-happy," Lawrence, 21, tells Seventeen magazine. "Or maybe first Peeta and then Gale or Gale, then Peeta? I went back and forth. I flip-flopped."

Jennifer Lawrence doesn't suffer fools.
The no-nonsense actress, who stars in the highly anticipated upcoming movie The Hunger Games, is clear about a few things she doesn't like: phonies, actors who complain, and people who say they love exercise.
"I hate saying, 'I like exercising.' I want to punch people who say that in the face," Lawrence tells Glamour in its new April issue. "But it’s nice being in shape for a movie, because they basically do it all for you. It's like, 'Here's your trainer. This is what you can eat.' "
