Each Jurassic Park movie made less money and was less acclaimed than the last, and that was a result of splitting up the original's group dynamic.
Jurassic Park's most iconic moments feature the Velociraptors and the T-Rex, but it's the human characters that make the scenes memorable, and their absence in the sequels is why they failed. The original 1993 movie was revolutionary, as no other action movie had seamlessly intertwined digital and practical effects. While it's a little more obvious now, at the time, it was impossible to decipher between the two.
Jurassic Park’s Iconic Characters Were Separated For The Sequels While Jurassic Park brought all of these entirely different characters with strikingly similar interests together, the sequels pulled them apart. The main three characters in the first movie, Ellie, Alan, and Ian, wouldn't reunite again until almost 30 years later in Jurassic World Dominion.
Human Characters Were Always The Best Thing About Jurassic Park The setup between the characters in Jurassic Park is genius, as every character has totally conflicting opinions about the park, and they all voice their concerns and opinions in distinctly different ways. The characters are perfectly written and cleverly grouped with other characters that are the total antithesis of them, which leads to some of the most fun and entertaining dialogue and scenes in any family adventure movie.
Dropping Human Characters Made The Jurassic Park Sequels Worse The immediate Jurassic Park sequels were a case of diminishing returns, as each one made far less at the box office than its predecessor , and they weren't just small drops but significant jumps down. After Jurassic Park made $1.045 billion worldwide, The Lost World Jurassic Park made $618.6 million, and after that, Jurassic Park III made $365.9 million, barely even a third of what the original movie had made.
