The opening scene of Up (2009) will always be my favorite.

While I can't be certain, the first movie intro before the titles may have been
Frankenstein
(1931) when Edward van Sloan came from behind the curtain and warned the audience what they were going to see could be disturbing.
Dracula
, released a few months before closed with a curtain speech (again van Sloan) lifted from the original stage play. Apparently, it no longer exists.
Amadeus
had a particularly strong opening scene with the discovery of Salieri's attempted suicide.
And This, Too, Shall Pass Away
