I understand it as "lose pull" in the sense of "pull" as in "influence, as with persons able to grant favors".

Depending on the context, if you say that "007 va a perder tirón si cambian a Craig" you can say that the box office is going to go down... people will not feel as attracted to it...

(Do you have some context for this expression? Otherwise, what I am telling you should work...) Right?
