There’s no legal requirement for a movie to have anything.
Most people contract for certain things, but it’s all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he’d have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.
