Not the same, but Disney tried with Dinosaur a long while back and it looked great but didn't do all that well.

 

Looking back at the numbers and it was 11th domestically with $137m or so, which isn't terrible.  JP3 the following year only beat it WW by $9m.  

 

But that was a dinos only story and I think the draw is obviously humans being terrorized by dinos, right?

Hmm. I'm ready for dinos only actually. Humans are generally the least interesting characters in these things.

Dawn of The Dinosaurs did like near 900m.

Anyone remember a small little movie called We're Back, A Dinosaur Story.

My comment about resting the franchise isn't due to disliking it but just that the concept of Jurassic Park/World is much more limited compared to Star Wars, DC or Marvel. It's incredible Universal managed to get five sequels from the original film.

Dinosaurs are draw.

 

There's no point of saying that people are loosing interest seeing JW underperformance, it's just that for some reason Universal weren't able to build hype. Which is bit surprise. They should've done better.

It's limited if you always want Big Blockbusters.

 

It's unlimited if you want smaller scaled stories, smaller movie or a web series.

 

In smaller stories you can go to prequel events, survival genre, science thriller in form of episodes, tons of potential.

 

But for big scale event movies, you need to get something really good amd unique.

Of course. Dino cartoons were huge in the 90s. Land Before Time was huge in the late 80s into the 90s too. 

[THUNDER BIRD]

Speaking of Dinosaurs, that wierd Journey to the center of the earth movie of Brandon Fraiser had a Giganotosaurus which looks like T Rex.

[Deep Wang]

Only real G's remember this one.

Anyone remember Disney's Dinosaur? That was the shit when I was a kid.

Yea... some disturbing scene at the end had an old man get eaten by crows until only his glass eye was left. I don’t remember the context at all other than it scared the living shit outta me.
