I have a simpler answer- the bad ones make money. All of the Jurassic World movies have topped $1B. Rebirth has been out 5 days and is already at $300M, twice its budget.

While movies are art, they are primarily an entertainment product, especially when they cost $65-200M to make. Jurassic World is selling really well, so they aren’t going to change the product to produce “better” art.

It is interesting that Jurassic Park are the only (non animated) dinosaur movies to get much traction while JW is taking in so much money. But it’s got to be tough to come up with a dinosaur movie concept that doesn’t sound like a JP knockoff and doesn’t confuse viewers.

Maybe Marvel will make a Savage Lands movie. But I don’t think this what the author wants.

"65" is live action+CGI, and really borrows nothing whatsoever from JW.

It "only" returned about 150% of its cost, and was pretty forgettable, alas. So your point about not getting traction may stand.
