I think that has a lot of variables. Crocodiles were on earth around 250 million years ago, the t rex around 68 million years ago. Crocodiles still breath our atmosphere.
That doesn’t mean other animals didn’t have different breathing parameters though.
Crocodiles may have also adapted over time to deal with the changes in our atmosphere, while the dino DNA would not have gone through those changes. They could handwave that problem by saying they combined it with some other DNA or modified it themselves (better hemoglobin?)
Depends. Something from 125 to 200 millions years ago would probably struggle. Maybe you can put them on a mountain? But that’s probably too cold. But again, Jurassic Park dinosaurs are a mix of animal DNA, contemporary and older.
I may have heard a similar thing on a video that compared an elephant sized mouse with a mouse sized elephant.
Neither could survive because evolution designed their bodies for the relative pressure they exist in. This is also related to how fast their hearth beats go.
Human sized bugs could not exist for the same pressure reason also.

Well… As they point out in the World movies the creatures were never dinosaurs. They were generic chimeras that looked like dinosaurs.
I never understood the whole “They’re making a weapon” plotline though. Unless the weapon makers are either nihilists or libertarians. Oh!
Edit: caveat, I’ve only seen one of the world movies and then a trailer for one of the others.
I read somewhere that if we could bring back a dinosaur, it wouldn’t survive long, because of the oxygen concentration in our atmosphere. Is it true?
