‘Jurassic World’ Star Bryce Dallas Howard Says She Was Paid “So Much Less” For Trilogy Than Chris Pratt, Though Co-Lead Helped Her Negotiate Deals On Ancillary Revenue

Around the time of Jurassic World sequel Fallen Kingdom‘s 2018 release, reports surfaced of a pay gap amongst the film’s cast, with Bryce Dallas Howard making $2 million less than co-lead Chris Pratt, at a total of $8M.

But in a new interview with Insider, Howard has shared that the disparity was in fact far larger.“The reports were so interesting because I was paid so much less than the reports even said, so much less,” Howard said in the piece published earlier today, as part of the campaign for Jurassic World threequel Dominion‘s home entertainment release. “When I started negotiating for ‘Jurassic,’ it was 2014, and it was a different world, and I was at a great disadvantage.

And, unfortunately, you have to sign up for three movies, and so your deals are set.”Where Howard would make up for money lost in her original deal for the trilogy was in ancillary revenue—and it was Pratt himself who came forward to help the actress get her fair share.“What I will say is that Chris and I have discussed it, and whenever there was an opportunity to move the needle on stuff that hadn’t been already negotiated, like a game or a ride, he literally told me: ‘You guys don’t even have to do anything.

I’m gonna do all the negotiating. We’re gonna be paid the same, and you don’t have to think about this, Bryce,'” shared Howard. “And I love him so much for doing that.
