Okay, I have got to be missing something.

What does dating Chris Martin help her with?

How does Chris Pratt have more influence than her?

Re: Pratt - Well, he is in two huge blockbuster franchises, at least one of which will keep him working in high profile movies for the next decade, probably. And as a man in Hollywood, so long as he keeps his hair and doesn't get too hefty he'll have a much better shot at getting roles as he gets older. Sadly, you can't say that for women in Hollywood even if they still look great as they get older. Now that Pratt has solid comedy AND action star roles, he'll continue to be a contender for more blockbuster movies of those genres and the only thing ruling him out is his already busy schedule.

ayrt

Yes, that's true. But she was in two big franchises of her own, not to mention her Oscar noms and her win, her Golden Globes awards, and her BAFTA. She was the highest-paid actress in 2015 and 2016. I just don't think that because he's a currently popular actor, he necessarily has more influence than her. I won't argue with the fact that all else being equal, a man will generally have more influence than a woman, I just don't think all else is equal in this case.

nayrt - To be fair, they key word in that is "was". Hunger Games was big... and now it's over. Pratt has two huge franchises that are alive and kicking and he's been the lead in both Jurassic World and the GotG movies as opposed to Lawrence's role as Mystique in X-Men, a smaller franchise that does not have the forward momentum of either MCU or the Jurassic World franchises.

IMO, she's got a more solid track record for acting, if not box office hits. But her career is holding steady (maybe a slight dip for Mother) while Pratt's is climbing and given that as a man he's likely to have a longer Hollywood shelf life than her and that the pay gap between highest paid actor vs. actress is huge... well. If they were racehorses, I'd be laying my money on Pratt to go the distance.

But if we were talking about influence right now, though, in fact, since that picture is from Passengers promos, last year, I would say that she has more influence. Good box office can be tied to influence, but that's not all there is to it. Influence has to do with achievement, power (including, but not limited to box office power), ambition, connections, money, and presence. Yes, Chris Pratt may eclipse her at some point. He may stick around longer than her in Hollywood. Is she supposed to have dated him (which I don't think anything beyond tabloid speculation actually happened) for some influence at some point down the road?

And she was co-starring with Chris Pratt, not dating him, so I don't know why he's included. Unless OP has been taking the supermarket tabloids seriously?
