Alien came out 12 years before terminator 2.

Yes, I was just giving another extremely well known example that predates Hunger Games by a few decades

T2 came out 34 years ago.

Id even say that arguably that doesnt count.

She was a lead role, but Michael Beihn and Arnie got top billing in the Terminator and Terminator 2 movies. Edward Furlong and Linda Hamilton had "starring" roles but they werent the lead.

Sure, but Sarah was really the protagonist. Regardless, Alien came much earlier

Terminator would be a better and earlier example.
