Trivia: A great deal of the film was actually shot in Japan, and it was reportedly very difficult on the cast and crew. The cost to film in Japan was very high, and the shoot was highly restricted, causing frequent issues. The original cinematographer even left production because he became too frustrated by the experience. Filming was eventually moved to the US to combat these issues.

Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Trivia: Major's skin-tight bodysuit was a major hurdle during production. It took Weta workshop several months of work before they perfected the design and method of production. It was sculpted to perfectly fit Scarlett Johansson's body based on digital full-body scans. When it was produced, it was made out of silicone and purposely made slightly smaller so it would hug her body like a second skin.

Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Trivia: While the story is primarily lifted from the 1995 anime film of the same name, several elements of the movie were also taken from its 2004 sequel, "Ghost in the Shell: Innocence." Most noticeably, the robotic geisha are lifted directly from that movie.

Roxanne (1987)
Trivia: Steve Martin had been a fan of the play "Cyrano de Bergerac," on which the film was loosely based, since he was 12 years old. Making a modern-day retelling of the play became a dream-project of his during the 1980's, eventually resulting in this film.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Trivia: The original manga was released in western territories as "Battle Angel Alita." The title of the film swapped the words around so they read "Alita: Battle Angel." Producer James Cameron reportedly did this because he felt it sounded more dramatic and also because they could then use the "Alita" name for potential sequels. (Ex. He mentioned a sequel could be called "Alita: Fallen Angel" or "Alita: Avenging Angel.") A producer attached to the film also half-jokingly suggested that Cameron swapped the words around because almost all of his films have titles that begin with either "A" or "T."

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Trivia: James Cameron originally intended to direct the film, and began work on it way back in 1995. He kept pushing it back, as he felt the technology to make the film hadn't been perfected yet, and also because he became attached to several other projects in the meantime. Eventually, Cameron relinquished the director's seat to Robert Rodriguez and instead focused on writing and producing the film. The film was finally released in 2019... twenty-four years after Cameron started work on it.

Roxanne (1987)
Trivia: This film is loosely inspired by a French play from the 1800's, "Cyrano de Bergerac." One of the many nods to the play is the fact that the lead character of this film ("C.D. Bales") has the same initials as the protagonist of the play.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2020)
Trivia: Part of the reason a third "Ghostbusters" movie wasn't made in the 90's or 2000's was because Bill Murray didn't really want to return to his role of Peter Venkman. It was even rumored that Murray would immediately shred any "Ghostbusters 3" scripts that were sent to him. After many months of speculation, it was finally reported that Murray agreed to reprise the role in this film, alongside many other original cast members.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2020)
Trivia: Finn Wolfhard appears as a main character. He's also the star of the popular Netflix series "Stranger Things." Ironically, in an episode of that series, his character wore a "Ghostbusters" outfit for Halloween.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2020)
Trivia: Originally, sequels were planned for the 2016 "Ghostbusters" reboot. However, when the film attracted some controversy and fell short at the box office, plans for the sequels were abandoned. Eventually, an idea was hatched for a direct sequel to the original two films, which became "Ghostbusters: Afterlife."

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2020)
Trivia: Director Jason Reitman is the son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original "Ghostbusters" and "Ghostbusters II." As a child, Jason actually had a cameo in "Ghostbusters II" during the birthday party in the beginning. (He's the kid who tells Ray he heard the Ghostbusters were "full of crap").

Answer: A lot of movies will put a title card at the end of the film before the credits. It's usually to cap off the movie so that it's the last thing you see or think about when you leave (especially back in the day when you didn't sit around to watch for an extra scene). They want it to be redundant so you don't forget (repetition is the key to learning). Most movies (if not all) also have the movie's name at the very end of all the credits too. But I assume for copyright or other legal reasons, the same way a book publisher might print the book's title on every page of the book.
