Like @Denbigh said it makes narrative sense to do it this way, the subject of the song coming at that moment will work really well.
Then after the main titles we shift forward to 5 years and most likely pick up in London or maybe the start of the threat that kicks off Bond being pulled back into things.

And having the title sequence and the kidnapping between seeing Bond in Matera and then in Jamaica give us as the audience a bit of break to kinda represent how long he's been away from the service like Skyfall did.

I see what you mean by having scenes of the past before the titles. They did this in Goldeneye and then after the credits it read “9 years later”. I still like the thought of just having Norway for the PTS. After all, there will be a time jump between Norway and Matera anyway. I also like the thought of not having Bond in the pre title sequence. It would have been the first time since TMWTGG. Of course, it was the same with LALD. It probably would have been the same with Dr No too if they hadn’t have had the titles right at the beginning. Not sure if you can count FRWL or not. :). A pre title sequence with a little girl and a villain and no Bond sounds cool. Also, we’ve had Bond songs about love and there hasn’t been love until later on in the film. I understand what you mean but still, I don’t think where the song is placed is any kind of big deal. At the same time though, maybe the song will have more impact coming after Matera, presuming the masses listen to the lyrics. Still, maybe just the sound of the song will have an impact after Bond and Madeline are separated. I guess I’m 50/50 on the matter. Choices.
The only thing I’m not looking forward to about this film is Nomi. She sounds like she has too much of an attitude and an annoying one at that. I won’t be surprised if she hinders my enjoyment of the film. Will Nomi be going into the villain’s lair too? If so, she shouldn’t be. She should be out of the picture at this point.
That's why you place the gun barrel between Norway and Matera in order to break up the time gap. ;) Then after Matera it's the titles, and then "Five Years Later".
No thank you! I just want a traditional gunbarrel.
Depending on how it plays, I wouldn't mind it! In theory it sounds like it could work, and it's much preferable to how QOS/SF just relegated it to the end.
I only assume this because Marvel did it with their logos taking place after a prologue set years before the main event. It happened effectively with CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR showing Bucky in 1991. I assume Norway would function as such.
Would make it the very first pre-pre-title sequence!
That's extremely likely too! Either way, I look forward to seeing how well it plays at such a long length!
But potentially annoying would go to the dialog. What I've heard so far plays well enough. Surely the filmmakers will resist the type of dialog Die Another Day used.
Absolutely...
Is that what’s going to happen? The gun barrel is between Norway and Matera?
Just have the gunbarrel at the beginning with the iris finally opening up on Norway, then cut from young Madeleine to old Madeleine, then after Bond survives the action in Matera, go into the title sequence and then follow with the kidnapping of Valdo.
Just kinda do what this trailer does with Jyn (0:22secs) or something a bit more seemless...
...or my only alternate theory is that the Norway sequence will be incorporated into Matera sequence as a proper flashback rather than a linear chronology.
Just my theory!
Does anyone have the link to the full interview of Rami, it only lasted 20 seconds.

You’re not supposed to like all of the characters in Bond movies: what do you think the villains are for? :)
Norway
Matera - love etc
Grave Explosion
Title sequence
Matera action scenes
Train
5 years later
All run times are just speculations.
Robert Wade said a few weeks ago, that it never was three hours.
