CHRIS Pratt is feeling the pressure after a tough stretch at the box office and growing chatter about his place in Hollywood.
He has been shaken by the poor reception to The Electric State, which earned a low critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, and by the early box office performance of his sci-fi film Mercy, which reportedly opened below expectations worldwide.
Sources quoted in the report claim Pratt has been closely watching reviews and ticket sales as he tries to navigate a changing phase in his career.
Why This Matters
Pratt’s recent box-office struggles, reported personal tensions and the Jurassic franchise’s shifting focus could erode his leading-man status, affecting casting, earnings and Hollywood influence—underscoring how quickly studio careers can pivot amid industry and public scrutiny.
Sources told Radar Online that Chris believed he still had years of dependable leading-man status ahead of him, but recent setbacks have sparked concern about his momentum in the industry.
The report also points to personal pressure, alleging Pratt has had difficulty fitting in with the Kennedy side of wife Katherine Schwarzenegger’s famous family.
Insiders described him as feeling increasingly out of step as his star power cools.
Another major factor in the reported anxiety is the Jurassic franchise’s evolution.
Jonathan Bailey drew praise for Jurassic World Rebirth, with some calling him the standout of the new chapter, signalling that Pratt is no longer the central face of the series.
While the claims are based on unnamed sources and have not been independently verified, the report paints a picture of a major star confronting career uncertainty, franchise changes, and personal strain all at once.
