'''Open:''' We see a futuristic-like city at twilight, and we pan to the left where we see a neon movie theater with searchlights scanning the sky. Then we zoom into the entrance and see a bird's-eye view of the theater, lit in {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} and {{color|orange}}. We slowly zoom into the projection screen and the camera fades to the "{{color|red|{{Font|Impact|HBO FEATURE MOVIE}}}}" text animating as usual.

'''Open:''' We see a {{color|mediumorchid|heliotrope}} HBO logo across a vertical filmstrip with light rays shooting through it. The camera pans around and zooms back from several CGI squares glowing in various neon colors. Then, the lights shoot out the last square and light up a group of small dots glowing in rainbow colors, then zoom out to reveal a {{color|violet|light purple}} HBO logo with "{{color|deeppink|''Movie''}}" in a script font and in a {{color|deeppink|raspberry}}-like color with the rainbow circles on a black background behind it.

'''Open:''' We see a countdown with the letters "{{color|gold|'''H'''}}", "{{color|gold|'''B'''}}", and "{{color|gold|'''O'''}}". When it stops, it starts again as a globe bounces on it and onto a round {{color|red}} layer with the word "{{color|gold|'''M'''OVIES}}" and several {{color|gold}} banners with the words "HBOmovies" on them circling it. The globe bounces into a filmstrip, imprinting bouncing globes onto it, then bounces on the "{{color|gold|'''M'''}}" and moves to another layer with the word "{{color|gold|'''B'''OXING}}" and several "HBOboxing" banners on it. The globe and the letter "{{color|gold|'''B'''}}" fight with each other, pushing the globe onto a layer with the word "{{color|gold|'''M'''USIC}}" and several "HBOmusic" banners, as a bunch of globes appear. Three of the globes turn {{color|red}} and bounce onto a new layer with "{{color|gold|'''F'''AMILY}}" and "HBOfamily" banners. The "{{color|gold|'''F'''}}" juggles them, throwing them onto a final layer with "{{color|gold|'''COMEDY'''}}" and "HBOcomedy" banners. The "{{color|gold|'''C'''}}" laughs as the countdown appears again. It turns into an "{{color|gold|'''O'''}}", which zooms out to reveal the rest of the HBO logo, and the globe bounces into the middle of the "{{color|gold|'''O'''}}".

'''Open:''' We see a busy street intersection with a theater (a homage to the theater briefly shown in the 8th opening) displaying the HBO logo and the words "'''FEATURE PRESENTATION'''" on its marquee. The camera zooms into the theater, past the box office (a homage to the zooming box office from the 3rd opening) and into a bright light. After the light dims down, the camera starts zooming down a street in a residential neighborhood with cars driving and people walking about, and goes through a bridge superstructure shaped like an "'''H'''", after which it zooms down a rural highway, passing farms and such. After some fog obscures the screen, we see the camera zoom down a mountain road, flying over a pit, and heading down a "'''B'''" shaped tunnel. The tunnel leads to a desert road surrounded with gorges and cliffs at the other end, and the camera zooms into a truck with an "'''O'''"-shaped cylindrical tank, taking us through another transition. We end up zooming through a CGI rendering of the city from the 8th opening, then into a skyscraper-filled downtown. Passing through the buildings with a lens flare effect, the camera travels down a freeway as lights from behind several buildings quickly turn on, followed by more lights ahead of them. The camera pans and takes us into an aerial view above the clouds, and we see the spotlights outlining an HBO-logo shaped harbor. The 3D letters "'''FEATURE'''" fly in and come together over the HBO logo, and a flash below them brings forth a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} rectangle with the word "PRESENTATION" appearing on it letter-by-letter as we tilt above the HBO-shaped harbor.

'''Variant:''' A shorter, much more common version of this logo was available, which starts off with the lights lighting up. The full version, as described above, was only shown on Saturday night movie premieres from November 6, 1999 to March 26, 2011.
