* The end of TheTeaser in the first ''Film/HarryPotter'' movie zooms out to show a ''huge'' number of completely identical houses, reinforcing the mundanity of the {{Muggle}} world.
* ''ForrestGump'' has this as bookend shots, following a FauxSymbolism feather.

* ''FieldOfDreams'' has this at the end. It starts out with a shot of Ray and [[spoiler: his dad playing catch, and zooms away to reveal that a long line of cars is driving towards the field to visit.]]

* ''GangsOfNewYork'' does this at the end of the fight scene at the beginning, showing all of 1840's New York.

* This was the end credits sequence for ''TheBigBreakfast'', in itself the TitleSequence (a short-range AstronomicZoom) played in reverse.
** Another reversed zoom can be seen at the end of ''TimeBandits'', while the camera's zooming out on Kevin. [[spoiler:The remains of Kevin's parents billow smoke ''backwards''.]]

* At the end of ''Film/TheProfessional'' the camera zooms up from Mathilda onto the skyline of New York.

* The zoom-out shot from Zahra at the end of ''Film/TheStoningOfSorayaM'' giving an aerial view of the setting.

** This is played straight at the end of the movie as well, after the kids leave the school, the camera goes up to the sky before the cut to black and the DisneyAcidSequence credits, in a BookEnds way. Again with the ConspiciousCG.
