Jurassic World Dominion may have been the worst-rated film in the Jurassic franchise but it still raked in a ton of money. In fact, it earnt a hefty $974.5 million at the box office. Not bad for the âworstâ film in the franchise. As such, youâd expect the cast to be paid handsomely and whilst Iâm sure that was the case, Bryce Dallas Howardâs paycheck was âso much lessâ than co-star Chris Prattâs.

Itâs no secret that Hollywood has a gender pay gap problem - well, itâs an issue that extends outside of Hollywood. Over the past couple years, actresses have spoken out about how their pay drastically differs from that of their male co stars and Bryce Dallas Howard is the latest actress to join that list.
Speaking to Insider, Howard said, âI was paid so much less than the reports even said, so much less. When I started negotiating for [Jurassic World], 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.â

As reported by IGN, Howard was reportedly paid $2 million less than Pratt for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, taking home $8 million, but it seems like that figure could actually be a fair bit smaller. Obviously, these are extreme examples. Pratt did reportedly campaign for Howardâs pay to be raised. Howard added, âWhat I will say is that Chris and I have discussed it, and whenever there was an opportunity to move the needle on stuff that hadnât been already negotiated, like a game or a ride, he literally told me, âYou guys donât even have to do anything. Iâm gonna do all the negotiating. Weâre gonna be paid the same and you donât have to think about this, Bryce.ââ
She continued, âI love him so much for doing that. I really do, because Iâve been paid more for those kinds of things than I ever was for the movie.â Itâs nice to know the tide is turning on these issues.
