Chris Pratt Criticizes Earthlings as Guardians 3 Box Office Sales Overtake Worldwide GDP Chris Pratt has accused Earth of not being "on-brand" with him, as his otherworldly box office streak threatens to dismantle the global economy. For the second week running, he has starred in the top two films of the weekend, with the celestial Book Club: The Next Chapter trailing at a distant third. Both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and the Earth's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) held on to the top spot. However, the iconic space adventure's domestic earnings skyrocketed to $231.2 million, while its international success saw it soar past the half-billion-dollar mark. The Earth's GDP, in comparison, rose by a measly 49 percent. Missed attempts by government officials to generate hype around their latest economic reports couldn't hold a candle to Pratt's glittering publicity campaign. Amid rumors that the actor was considering several lucrative offers to become the global economy's brand ambassador, world leaders were reportedly left reeling over the prospect of a new financial titan rising to prominence. "Pratt has the Midas touch, and governments just aren't selling their assets very well," commented one entertainment industry insider. "In this era of space travel and otherworldly exploits, Pratt's star quality far outshines any plans for global economic prosperity." As Chris Pratt basks in interstellar glory, Earth's leaders can do little but watch as the star's power eclipses their own. With Guardians fever set to continue unabated, who knows how long it'll be before economic discussions are conducted by extraterrestrial wealth managers?
