Until 65, the Jurassic Park franchise owned the dinosaur movie.

Looking at how 65's been doing, it still does.

Live action, because The Land Before Time had like 12 movies and there is Dinosaur and The Good Dinosaur, too.

Sure, but if we’re counting kids movies than we’ve got to scrap the entire premise, because we’ve had plenty of animated pirates movies since 2003. And Peter Pan movies.

I figured we were talking about dominance of the genre.

It's interesting that even in the years after Jurassic Park III, when Jurassic Park 4 failed to materialise, no Hollywood studio tried to make a dinosaur movie. The closest thing we got was King Kong, and that doesn't count because the dinosaurs weren't the focus of the movie and just happened to be there. I wonder if studios saw the downward trend in box office returns for the Jurassic Park trilogy and figured that franchise (dinosaur) fatigue was setting in.
