In the movie King Kong (1933, 1976, 2005), why did Carl Denham want a giant ape from Skull Island when he could've gotten one of those dinosaurs?

One thing we learn from Jurassic Park is that people will pay anything to see live dinosaurs.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Kong is really impressive—twenty feet at the shoulders when a quadroped and maybe fifty when standing erect— bigger than most dinosaurs and though less sharp-toothed and agile, every bit as brutal.

But anyone can see an ape (although not that big). Wouldn’t people rather see a tyrannosaurus or stegosaurus or tricerotops rather than just a giant ol dumb monkey? There were plenty of dinosaurs on Skull Island, and they were all more interesting.
