Titling in film openings typically appears between 1 and 1.5 minutes into the film, according to research, with only one film having the title at the very beginning and one film omitting the title entirely. Actor names usually appear 30-50 seconds in but sometimes are shown at the end instead of the beginning. Titling is important at the start of a film as it introduces the production companies, producers, actors and others involved, giving them credit and allowing viewers to recognize famous people.
