They are not, but money talks. Kids love dinosaurs. R rating limits the audience. So they likely won't do one for a good while. They even do the same thing with horror. Predator is almost pg these days. Answer from Blekanly on reddit.com

July 2, 2025 - This is the kind of summer blockbuster we keep hoping for and so rarely get. It respects the legacy, introduces characters worth caring about, and delivers jaw-dropping dinosaur action on a grand scale. ... Not that great in comparison to previous movies in the franchise.

Carnosaur (1993) ⭐ 3.7 | Horror, Sci-Fi
May 21, 1993 - But ENOUGH with the ripoff accusations. This is not about a theme park. "CARNOSAUR" (1993, Simon) is a really weird film. It's a really nasty film that features a lot of gore but also some surreal gross-out stuff; some is reminiscent of Ridley Scott's "ALIEN", which is weird in a dinosaur movie.

r/Dinosaurs on Reddit: Opinions: Why do you want an R-rated Dinosaur movie?
October 3, 2025 -

In a lot of places online when talking about Jurassic Park or other dinosaur movies (especially the recently released (and honestly overhyped) Primitive War), I see a lot of posts wishing for more R-rated dinosaur projects…whether it’s imagining Jurassic Park more closer to its adult, R-rated roots, or just in general. And I’m curious about why?

R-rated (and beyond) dinosaur media does exist, and while some are really great (like the show Primal), majority of them tend to be low-budget schlocky affairs. For me personally, it seems that the R-rating is primarily used to justify either increased amounts of gore, or to allow the humans to use more foul language…but other than that it doesn’t seem to change much about the actual viewing experience. Movies like Jurassic Park, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, and even more kid-friendly options like Disney’s Dinosaur or The Land Before Time can feel scarier and way more intense than most R-rated stuff despite their lower age rating. Plus while there are lots of adult Dino fans, it would be argued that kids seems to be the much larger audience willing to see movies about dinosaurs…making it R-rated cuts off a good portion of your audience.

So question to you guys, more out of curiousity and research is why do you guys want to see an R-rated Dino movie?

Primitive War (2025) ⭐ 5.3 | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi
October 3, 2025 - The cast was all good and considering the dialogue they had to say lol.and the soundtrack was perfect but the biggest surprise was how fanatic the dinosaurs looked so impressed with that alone. Yes there are any faults along the way but that does not change my opinion and my rating for when it was on point it was gold. I know not many will see it on the big screen but that a ashame because it's worth the money and time. Not because it's the best movie out because it's just a great escape from the real world.

Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) ⭐ 5.9 | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
July 2, 2025 - No plot, no sensible characters, no proper dinosaurs. Just noise, stupidity, and monstrosities. A "rebirth"... into something much, much worse. ... I wish I could take a previous review for a Jurassic park clone and insert it here to get across the effort the studio is putting into these now. It's just a cheap cash in for some money. Very boring and predictable. The CGI actually looked worse than the 1993 movie.

The Good Dinosaur (2015) ⭐ 6.7 | Animation, Action, Adventure
November 25, 2015 - It's interesting to see a talking dinosaur, while the young human being behaves more like a dog, which is further reinforced by the name spot. I enjoyed the exciting and on occasion dangerous adventure they share together. It's an inspiring story to help children and adults find courage to conquer difficult times. ... The fact that this movie still holds a score of a 6.8 with hundreds of 1/10 scores shows you just how good it is.
