Talk about having champagne problems!

On-the-rise star Jennifer Lawrence is involved in two mega franchises -aaHunger Games and X-Men: First Class – which means her time is at a premium.

The Hollywood Reporter says the two studios behind the films have been hashing it out over her shooting schedule and trying to avoid conflicts.

They seem to have come to a solution that gives everyone what they want, while making Lawrence a very busy -aaand very rich -aagirl.

The conflict revolved around a fall shooting schedule for both films, which would have been nearly impossible for Lawrence to accomplish. The compromise is pushing the X-Men production schedule to January 2013. Meanwhile, Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire will start shooting in August or September.
