Kino opening

Initially it was meant just to give Saul Bass employment but then it became a standard part of every movie

Ego stroking the big boys, everybody else can rot in the ending credits that nobody watches.

To let you know who's bitch you are.

To build up anticipation and tension on the viewer, either that or retarded union laws

It's a pleb filter. If you can't enjoy an opening credit sequence with a good film score, you don't have any business watching the rest of the movie.
