The titles of the low budget, independent production "This is England" mainly includes all the people, who spent money on the film. This stays in a big contrast to the high budget Hollywood-Blockbuster "Spider Man 3", whose titles mainly include all the famous actors and people, who have done the special effects.

That clearly shows that Films made by film companies like the "Big 6" usually have no financial problems at all and are using the main titles to show the audience how much money they have and how much expensive actors and effects they have bought with that money.

The small production companies have huge problems to get enough money for their movies and so need to mention their sponsors in the titles to get more of them.
