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 fade in to a shot of a man holding a bowl of popcorn. As the camera pans to the right is him walking towards his wife, who's snuggling up with a blanket on a sofa. In the background we can see two sets of home plants, a desk lamp, a set of magazines, and two glasses of what seems to be wine or cola. On the wall, there is a canvas print of another apartment. Below the couch, a pair of shoes are visible. The man places the popcorn on a table, settles down with his wife, and turns on the TV.

In the background we can see two sets of home plants, a desk lamp, a set of magazines, and two glasses of what seems to be wine or cola. On the wall, there is a canvas print of another apartment. Below the couch, a pair of shoes are visible. The man places the popcorn on a table, settles down with his wife, and turns on the TV. As the screen zooms out through a window, a suitcase-style turntable can be seen. Zooming further out of the apartment, there is a few more sets of apartment complexes. Two more pairs of shoes can be seen dangling from a telephone wire. Panning further to the right, there are two streetlamps. We then zoom out from the streets into the room of two teenage siblings; an older sister and a younger brother. The wall is covered with fan posters of various celebrities. Zooming further out is the sister on her bed, and the brother on a large cushion. The brother holds a tablet towards his sister. Zooming out even further, we reach a balcony. In it, a patio table and a bicycle can be seen. As the camera zooms further out, the screen zooms out into the living room of another apartment complex. This scene is basically a recreation of the 8th opening, with a few modern touches added (e.g. cushion couches on a rug next to a flat-screen TV, which is showing a portion of the 8th opening (the part where the screen zooms into the "'''O'''"). As the screen zooms out again, it is noticeable that the apartment complex is actually a home, nested on a floating brick lawn. More apartments and condominiums are nested next to the home. The logo zooms in to the living room of yet another apartment. The first thing shown is its flat-screen TV, which is also showing the 8th opening. In it, a group of college students are seen on a couch, with one of them serving a snack to another. As the screen zooms out yet again, a man holding a phone can be seen on the balcony of yet another apartment. After that, the camera zooms out further and further. It is then revealed that the city is inside the HBO logo, set over a dark sky background on a flat grassy plain, with a river shown beside it. The words "MOVIE PREMIERE" are seen below the logo. At this point, everything shown inside the towering logo is no longer noticeable in detail. | ||
