Chris Pratt's dying career

He’s worked plenty. He’s chosen to step back after getting married.

I hope he's finished after Jurassic Park and the Guardians. He's at the very top of my rational hate list.

He's a weird case. It's like he sold his soul for muscles and a leading man career. I can't even recognize him as the funny, goofy guy he was before.

Maybe he was tired of being the funny, goofy guy he was before.

He doesn’t need to work anymore. He married rich.....he’s set for life and can now become an even fatter douche canoe.

He’s rich himself. He was making $10 million per film rather fast.

The brides mom is Maria Shriver. She’ll inherit $100 million.

Pratt is worth at least $50 million. He’s doing fine.

I seriously doubt Chris Pratt is worth $50 million. I’d say $15 million at the most.

He was paid $15 million for the Jurassic World movie. So I doubt he’s just worth $15 million.

Sorry he was paid $8 million for the first. And $10 million for the 2nd. He was paid $10 million GOTG2 and $7 million for Passengers.

Pratt is enjoy his life, donating money to his homophobic church and sleeping on a big pile of Marvel money. He doesn't have to work unless he's contractually obligated to.

R12 has it. And because of Marvel and Jurassic World, he is in two major franchises that he will have projects for every couple of years, so what he does between doesn’t matter.

Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth said the good part about being in the Marvel movies is you know even if every other movie you do fails, critically or financially, you will always have Marvel to fall back on and have another huge blockbuster under your name and big paycheck.

Evans wanted out though while Hemsworth is practically begging to be kept on the Marvel gravy train.

At this point of his life, he's sitting pretty; regardless if you find him distasteful or not.

R9 Do you have a crystal ball or do you just usually pull numbers out of your ass? Sorry I’m just amused at how somebody would throw down a figure like that. The marvel movies have become obscenely lucrative for the top talent. Chris Pratt likely earned $50 million off of guardians 1 and 2 alone. He could earn $50-100 mil for Guardians 3 even if it sucks. It will happen at some point in the next 2-3 years. He earned at least $20 off Jurassic park after bonuses. $10 mil for Passengers. He’s doing ok

There was talk he'd be playing Indiana Jones.

I think that pay is misleading. R11 lists 35 million. Consider that taxes will take half of it, right? Then he has agents, publicists, assistants, etc. they’ll take a quarter, won’t they? That leaves him with $9 million.

That’s a lot of money. But it’s not Rockefeller rich. I’m gunna guess that it is expensive to be an actor at the top of your game. He would need a staff, including security. Expensive clothes are nice, but you actually need them, or you’ll be ugly in the tabloid photos. You have to attend stuff. I’ll bet there are a lot of expenses related to appearances and (mandatory) gifts.

A friend of mine lived near William Shatner. My friend found it funny that Shatner hired non-uniformed Mexicans, presumably illegals and essential day-laborers, as his security. My friend would point them out, there was one always on the road out in front as we drove by.

Anyone else able to make a more accurate breakdown of the money?

Yes. He’s still in talk to play Indiana Jones

R17 sweetie, that’s not all his films, on top of endorsements and he makes a percentage of the earnings for Jurassic World.

And he gets bonuses if a film he’s in makes a lot of money. He’s smart with his contracts, like Dwayne Johnson, who not only gets a huge paycheck, gets a percentage, a bonus and is paid an extra million to promote the films he stars in.

We’ll spill it, R19! Let’s see a breakdown! I just think that throwing out one number isn’t thoughtful enough, if we’re guessing here.

All y’all saying “he got paid $15 million” for this movie or that, obviously don’t know how the movie business works. There are agents, publicists, business managers, financial managers, family and friends that all take a piece of the pie. Trust me, he’s not worth more than $25 million.

Lmaoooo you aren’t a Hollywood Business Manager.

You post random occupations all the time to try and prove your pointless points.

[quote]Outside of the Marvel/Jurassic Park franchises he doesn't work

That's like saying, "Other than Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg hasn't accomplished much to make money for himself."

R4: Well, in that case good for him, but the change was not for good

[quote] That's like saying, "Other than Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg hasn't accomplished much to make money for himself."

Terrible analogy. And who said anything about money? As an actor he's no longer prolific or in demand. The franchises he is in sell themselves. He isn't box office.

He’s still bigger, more beloved, and more accpisjevv FB than you r26

Accomplished

He makes money.

I wouldn’t agree that he’s that “beloved” anymore.

Yeah I think we’re all over him for a while. Especially now that he’s fat again.

No one is over him. In case you haven’t heard, he just got married and said he was taking time off after he married.

R32 - you’re mistaken sweetie. Many people I know are very much over him. He’s tedious and very much full of himself.

I’m sure you know the MILLIONS that have seen him ALL OVER THE WORLD.

He’s far from over.

Yeah a lot of people on social media, mainstream media, and in Hollywood took up for him with progressives attacked him for attending a traditional church. I think his likability made people sympathetic to him

I can suck my own cock. It's true, I'm also a contortionist.

Part of the reason he's disliked more now is because of how breathtakingly stupid and bad acting his character was in the next-to-last Avengers movie, where they ALMOST had the evil guy defeated and then he goes off on his hotheaded rant and blows the whole thing. It was a bad plot point and he didn't sell it, either, so it failed in multiple aspects.

[quote]Terrible analogy. And who said anything about money? As an actor he's no longer prolific or in demand. The franchises he is in sell themselves. He isn't box office.

Ridiculous argument. Its not as if he was ever an actor who sought challenging roles in non-mainstream movies. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't think you do, either.

I also can’t stand to watch him on late night shows talking about himself like he’s the second coming of Christ.

I can’t wait until he gets as fat as Brando did before he croaked.

If this guy wasn’t so handsome he wouldn’t have a career. Extremely unremarkable actor.

R24 and in addition, he was on a hugely successful sitcom for eight seasons. And before that he was a series regular on everwood.

I loathe the man, but he’s been pretty bankable so far.

didn't this ugly republican get fat again

he looks white trash, always has

I love him. Reminds me of my best friend. Fun and chill

[quote]If this guy wasn’t so handsome he wouldn’t have a career. Extremely unremarkable actor.

I only have passing familiarity with his career, but I think his success is based on the fact that he comes across as so natural onscreen, like a regular guy who happens to be more attractive than a lot of regular guys. I don't imagine he will ever play, or would want to play, any role that requires serious, intense acting. My sense is that he's well aware of his limitations.

God some people get so emotional defending this douchebag

You can never estimate a Hollywood actors salary because you have no idea what they’re getting paid. Again, I’m certain he earned between 25 and 50 million for the first two Galaxy movies and will get 50-75 for 3 after all the bonuses, And yes, actors have managers agents business managers assistance and so forth. But the element that you can’t be aware of is how much he earns doing commercials and print ads for major companies. Or any side businesses he is invested in. The money associated with things like promoting fragrances is crazy. If you ask the normal person if they think Paris Hilton is still doing well, they probably would say they haven’t heard About her in years But meanwhile she just launched her 25th fragrance. She probably makes more than most actors starring in television shows off fragrance licensing alone

Just goes to show you can still go to shit even with being a Jesus freak.

He was a nice guy, suddenly he got hot and successful he dumped his wife like she was not enough now tha he got leading man material, and then he because an ultraconservative religious guy which seems all kind of hypocrital.

People used to say that he was nice and likeable but his fame after becoming a big thing is very different.

Of course there are a lot of unsuferable big stars, but he is attached to two big franchises and lately, being in big superhero films doesn't make you a star, and most of those actors tend to flop when they try to be a leading man outside the franchise.,

He is not over, but he should be careful about his image because he could be downgraded very soon

He’s good

I hope he dies in a fiery car crash similar to Paul Walker.

IMDB lists 3 movies released in 2019 and 5 future movies. That's hardly a dying career.

I don't think people were talking about his career right now, he is in two big franchises so he is going to get work, but his movies outside the franchises have a tendency to flop so his career will be very different once the franchises are over

What has flopped recently?

He's not people's favorite Chris.

R51, that’s because you’ve given yourself over to evil.

R51, that’s because you’ve given yourself over to evil.

Actors will sell their souls for these superlucrative franchises. Both Ewan McGregor and Orlando Bloom pretty much disappeared after they got involved in extensive franchises--same with Richard Armitage.

It’s the no talent data’s thing.

Lol @ anyone calling him "attractive" when he's an Average White Guy at best.

McGregor works steadily outside of franchises. Some of the movies aren't so great but he still seems to make time to be in the occasional lower budget indie film (Beginners etc).

Liked him as a shlub on Parks & Rec. All of his charm disappeared when he became a buff, bland movie star. Doesn't help that he's probably a closet Trump fan.

R48. You mad hater. It must take a lot of virus eating your soul to hate someone you have never met.

R62 it’s not closeted at all. He’s an open Christian and Republican

R60: Apart of his looks (i think he is good looking even when he was chubby) he seemed very likeable and charming back in the day. The appeal of an actors rarely rely only on his looks.

Lately his goofy quality just dissapeared

I like him and dudes like him. He’s good people

Even skinny you can see his body was made to be obese.

Would it have killed you to have at at least posted a picture or link OP? I mean would that have been so hard? Why don’t you try to think more of others next time before you post?

R68 OP is a drunken sailor.

Come on, he may be a religulous douchebag, but he's hot as fuck and seems like a funny, likeable guy. Anyone claiming that Chris Pratt's career is dying is a fool.

The only idiots are the people saying his career is dying or over and that he doesn’t have much money.

For most of the public, his religious leanings are not a big deal — he’s not seen as a bigot or a hater. His career is in good shape.

That Jurassic Park was lousy. He is really handsome. But I got so turned off when he married that ugly Kennedy. And his whole I am Jesus thing. Hoping to see him in better movies. I love to see him in Indiana Jones.

His religious beliefs are typical or consistent with mainstream Americans. Only a fringe are upset about them.

He was in the biggest film of all time earlier this year, part of that mega-franchise and the star of the Jurassic World franchise which is also massively successful and you think his career is dying? Just how many points below 100 is your IQ, OP? I'd love to know what you consider to be a healthy career for an A list actor.

R49, in outtakes for "Parks & Rec" he is often a complete ass, making a sexist comment once just out of nowhere and another time throwing a prop and breaking some of the set wall. They reshot a few seconds to make the prop throwing part of the show but both Poehler and Lowe looked like they were just barely keeping their tempers in check.

Then of course there was the time he showed up nude in a scene unannounced because he didn't think Poehler was acting surprised enough when his character arrived at her house. He then bitched to the press about the Union sending him a warning letter.

He's always been an asshole but his PR used to be able to hide it. Then he got too popular and it couldn't be hidden as well.

[quote]Outside of the Marvel/Jurassic Park franchises

There is practically no outside anymore.

People always point out when a star only has dumb franchise roles and can't do anything else. Pratt was abysmal in HER and is obviously very limited in range. Even in roles like JURASSIC or GUARDIANS he can barely sell his lines, and I suspect "dying career" really translates to "won't have any roles of note after 2021 nor any lasting legacy."

Jennifer Lawrence’s pussy killed him.

For some weird reason, I think he's going to get into politics.

Chris is super hot but he is unapologetically Christian, fundie and conservative. I wonder how that worked being married to Anna Faris who is totally into drugs and never eating.

He is absolutely, totally average. How unattractive are the guys here who think he’s hot or super hot? Jesus.

R13 Evans wanted out of the Marvel circuit because he considers himself a “serious actor” (laughably), Hemsworth isn’t as deluded and understands that there isn’t much work for Marvel actors outside of Marvel unless they were already well known actors from the get-go and is intelligently sticking to an easy bet.

I predict every movie Evans makes from here on out will either do moderately well or flop. He wants to be taken seriously, which I’ll never understand. If he wanted to be seen as a serious actor he shouldn’t have signed on for all those Marvel films. Now he’ll never be seen as anything but Captain America, and as a result his career will decay.

I love all these guys on here saying “he’s not hot.” He’s so hot that if he was in front of any of these haters they would immediately fall to their knees and worship him. He’s got presence, looks, personality, and that special undefinable spark. That’s why he’s a movie star.

R83 He’s like Hemsworth: circumstantially hot. When he’s bulky and toned, yes he’s smoking. But when he isn’t he just looks like another unattractive white guy. Same goes for Hemsworth. When he’s in Thor shape he’s gorgeous, but otherwise he looks like a meth addict.

Starring in movies =/= being a Movie Star.

As much as I'm not a fan, Tom Cruise is a movie star. He has his big franchises, other one-off action movies, and serious films (Magnolia, Eyes Wide Shut etc).

Tom Hanks is also one of few movie stars who has never ended up in a big franchise.

Adam Driver is an example of someone who is successfully balancing a franchise with other movies - Marriage Story is getting raves, as did Paterson and Blackkklansman. When has Pratt even come close to this?

He's rich, white and handsome. Doesn't matter. Any actor can be A list now. Talent doesn't mean shit.

[quote]He’s got presence,

No.

[quote]looks,

Meh.

[quote]personality,

Nope.

[quote]and that special undefinable spark.

LOL.

Virus eating your soul R63? Fuck you. What's the condition of your soul writing such a vile, disgusting thing? All to defend some nothing movie star.

It's a good thing Jesus loves you because I doubt many others do. You should be ashamed of yourself.

R88. Jesus and lots of people love me. You thought I will be offended Jesus loves me. I am sure a lot of people can't stand a vile cunt like you.

Can we discuss his fragrant moist taint and sweat/musky pits?

I pray all you queens die. Die, die, die.

To be fair, he's really never been tested. Outside of the Marvel and Jurassic Park films, his only other films since becoming a star were "Magnificent Seven" which was an ensemble film and "Passengers" which co stared Jennifer Lawrence who was also hot at the time. He's never had to carry and open a film all on his own. That will be the test.

He was MUCH better fatter and less kkkristian

Chris Pratt and Chris Evans are polar opposites politically and socially, therefore have never been friends and, I dare say, judging from how Evans goes at conservatives on social media, they never liked each other. Which is why I thought it cringeworthy when they were doing this promotional bro schtick and the public (baby fraus) and gossip media was lapping it up and calling them "best friends".

Evans is tight with RDJ who fyi is also a conservative. Fun fact, people can have strong political views without hating individuals in the other camp.

It's sad that Pratt is now fundie adjacent but with all the opinionated liberals on just the Marvel lot (Evans, Rufallo, Cheadle, Larson) it's impractical that he would go cold on them.

R92 carrying a movie is no longer "the test". The age of the movie star is dead. Even Tim Cruise is no longer a sure a thing outside of his established franchise. And as Disney is learning with Angelina Jolie, creating a franchise around the movie star is no longer tenable. First comes the vehicle, then comes the star. The system is inverted now.

Even my autocorrect turns Tom Cruise into Tim Cruise. It don't know her.

What’s with his hairline? It looks so good in Guardians but on the red carpet it looks wispy and fake.

Because at the end of the day Evans is a sellout actor. He’d act in a Clint Eastwood film if he gave him a role.

Passengers was terrible. He’s not a star.

R100 I liked P(ass)engers.

I'm sexy.

Does he use Toppik? Sometimes his hair is so filled out and sometimes it’s so sparse.

FFS now we have a deranged Chris Pratt fangurl?

And for what it’s worth, this fat fundie fuck’s appeal took a deep dive when he dumped Anna Faris.

R105 I think Anna marked the start of his midlife crisis. He seems less stable now. I think that has something to do with why he’s not getting jobs anymore.

R94, some of us can be close friends with people who have very different political views. I have lots of conservative friends. Not all of us are scorched earth types.

my opinion

As it should be r96. Agents created the myth that people are going to see the star not the story.

You could go to any Dave & Buster's in America and pick out a guy with the same build and humor.

Given his looks and level of talent, he really lucked out.

Some of zuze have conveniently forgotten how very cute and charming young Chris Pratt was. That's how he made it. Not luck.

[quote]You could go to any Dave & Buster's in America and pick out a guy with the same build and humor. Given his looks and level of talent, he really lucked out.

I don't agree with that, but even if you think it's true, the ability to come across as charming, funny, likeable, and natural ON SCREEN is a talent in itself. I'm pretty sure a lot of the guys at Dave & Buster's would not be able to do that.

I want your spermies too, Chris!! 🤤

R95 & r97, have you ever seen Pratt and Evans hanging out in a non-promotional context? I'd love a link.

Find your own links, dummy. While you are at it try find links of either hanging out with any Marvel stars outside of promo. Happy hunting.

I think he left Anna because she didn't want to become a dutiful Christian woman. She wouldnt even go on location with him which left him open to the devils temptations. I'm sure the new wife will drop everything and to go guard her husband penis from stray vaginas. Also, Anna was frequently on the devils drink and defying her husbands command of sobriety.

He’s hideous in r111’s photo. My god he must have blown every casting director in the continental USA to get cast in anything. Either that or he’s the kept boy of some insanely rich Republicunt gay man who’s been sponsoring his career.

He looks like a retarded Corky at R111.

Why was his hair a curly blond mop when he was younger but dark and not curly now?

He’s cute
