 * COMING SOON TO CINEMAS
 * IN CINEMAS NOW
 * RENT IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD
 * OWN IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD
 * COMING SOON TO RENT ON VIDEO AND DVD
 * COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

Variants:
 * In the "RENT IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD" and "OWN IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD" variants, the clip-ons are already on-screen, and light rays shine on them from the bottom, again on the top, and around them.
 * In the "COMING SOON TO RENT ON VIDEO AND DVD" and "COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD" variants, the background slowly zooms in, only "COMING SOON" appears in the flash, before quickly zooming in, leaving the rest of the text to fade in from behind it, before it zooms in extremely fast.

FX/SFX: Depends on the variant.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the variant:
 * In the "COMING SOON TO CINEMAS" and "IN CINEMAS NOW" variants, a very low synth fanfare for the flash, then a whoosh sound, followed by another slightly fast paced low synth fanfare before another whoosh sound occurs.
 * In the "RENT IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD" and "OWN IT NOW ON VIDEO AND DVD" variants, a drum hit, followed by a low fanfare with a shining sound.
 * In the "COMING SOON TO RENT ON VIDEO AND DVD" and "COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD" variants, an eerie muffled explosion from the flash with a few whooshes, then a louder one when "COMING SOON" zooms in, a low pulsing hum when the rest of the text appears, then the same whoosh when it zooms in.
