Well in terms of virtualization you can not really differentiate between OpenVz and Docker , Docker is way advanced than OpenVz. OpenVz is to just virtualize a dedicated server , where as Docker has a virtualization concept however its an automation thing which helps you to deploy the virtual instances with installed apps using either docker community image or free image. Docker has to 2 versions , one of them is PAID version however their free edition is way advanced too. Docker is basically used to deploy and host the application instances which has pre-defined configurations and it is mostly used to develop apps as it provides easy administration , updates , changes for such apps.

@24x7CSM is totally right, there is no reason to compare OpenVZ and Docker because their features and possible usages are not the same.
OpenVZ is a container virtualization solution, similar to LXC/LXD, which provide the ability to host several isolated containers running a full linux distribution on the same host.
Main usage : providing virtual servers hosting on dedicated servers with isolated containers
When Docker is a lightweight container virtualization solution built "to develop, deploy, and run applications with containers" like Docker.com explain it in its documentation. Docker cannot be used (isn't intended) to run a full linux distribution in a container, but only a single application.
Main usage : running applications inside containers on almost all platform to isolate each service inside a container (most of time, Docker containers are running inside virtual machines powered by KVM, XEN, or VMWARE)
