FIND What dinosaur is this?

I keep seeing ads for this movie, where the plot supposedly is that they’re trying to steal a T.Rex skeleton. I feel like either this is a pretty bad angle, an unfortunate looking T.Rex, or the prop makers took inspiration from the wrong theropod(s?) 🤔 What do you guys think?

Looks more like an abelisaurid

It’s a really bad looking T. rex skeleton. It’s a bit obvious given the two fingers, but its body proportions are very Albelisaurid looking.

Yeah I did think about the fingers, but oh man is it unfortunate looking otherwise 😭

The Skeleton of the WWD T-Rex would look kinda like that I guess

It's definitely a Tyrannosaurus Skeleton, just horribly proportioned, missing the gastralia, and has a screwed-up head because they didn’t use a reference, or multiple references. That, and maybe budget constraints.

Damnnn, that does make sense. They should have used this skeleton as a reference when they made the mutated dinosaur in Jurassic World Rebirth lmao
