The title executive producer can basically mean anything. It could be a studio head who approved funding for the movie but isn’t involved in production at all. Or it’s given to someone who secured the script and pitched it to a studio and did the pre production. There is no exact definition of the title. Like Steve Jobs is an executive producer on Toy Story only because he bought Pixar and funded the movie. And nowadays you often see one of the actors with an executive producer title to boost the marketing.
