Differences And Similarities between 3 Movie Openings

I believe these film openings are going to help me when making my opening because it helps me understand what to include with my opening because i understand what certain genres include in their opening e.g. with sci-fi films, it will have visuals of space and technologically advanced things such as machines or spaceships but also has a lot of ambient music which will help set the scene.

Catch me if you can

All of the openings are 2-3 minutes long. All of these openings feature a composition of music that last throughout the entirety of the opening. All of the openings give credits to the actors and production companies. Most of these openings are similar because they provide little to no obvious back story which lets the audience think a little bit more as to what the film is going to be about. The production company and director always comes first in these openings. 
Production company and director comes before any of the actors names or other contributors. There is no live action events happening in this opening, it is all animated.  
Terminator (1984)

Terminator shows the name of the director and then the story behind the film before going into any detail about the actors, production company etc. It then shows the name of the main character (Arnold Schwarzenegger). This is the only opening out of the 3 that features a live action scene. 
Spider-man 2
This film is a sequel, so the events that happened in the previous film are shown through hand drawings and show some of the key events that take place in the first movie.
