Comparison

A mainstream film will always have a much longer title sequence as Mean Girls had a much longer title sequence than Beautiful Thing as you can see above. This would be because of Mean Girls have a very high budget and Beautiful Thing don't so this means they will be able to afford stuff that Beautiful Thing can't afford for the film. This includes better actors and actresses hence is the reason why Mean Girls title sequence is so long, because they have very good actors and actresses in their film and show it all in the title sequence. A high budget will also mean more members for a cast which is what Mean Girls have and not Beautiful Thing.
