'''Logo:''' We see the black letters "LGF" with "LIONS GATE FILMS" below (all separated by two lines). A {{color|blue}} spotlight passes on the background. Suddenly the words turn {{color|blue}}, and the background fades to black. The logo zooms in. Then the light streak draws the same byline as the previous logo. | '''Logo:''' We see the black letters "LGF" with "LIONS GATE FILMS" below (all separated by two lines).

*An extremely rare variant is known to exist where the animation plays as normal, but towards the end of the orchestration the logo begins to shrink. We zoom out to find it is the "H" in the [[THX]] logo, which moves into the bottom left corner a few seconds later, which leads directly into the menu. | *An extremely rare variant is known to exist where the animation plays as normal, but towards the end of the orchestration the logo begins to shrink.

''' | '''Technique:''' The animation of the gears and doors. Very nice CGI, done by [[Devastudios]]. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic fanfare with brass and string instruments and drums (which takes cues from Danny Elfman's ''Batman'' theme) for the standard version. The horror version has the sounds of the gears cranking and door creaking, alongside sounds resembling a heartbeat and moaning. The short version uses mechanical noises. On rare occasions, both versions are silent or have the film's opening/closing theme playing over them. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic fanfare with brass and string instruments and drums (which takes cues from Danny Elfman's ''Batman'' theme) for the standard version.

*Films from [[Trimark Pictures]] from 1990 to 1994, like ''The Sun'' on YouTube for example, had the text "A DIVISION OF VIDMARK INC." after the logo, which is likely mistakened to be a plastering error instead of having a parent company. | *Films from [[Trimark Pictures]] from 1990 to 1994, like ''The Sun'' on YouTube for example, had the text "A DIVISION OF VIDMARK INC." after the logo, which is likely mistakened to be a plastering error instead of having a parent company. | ||
