Depends on the director for how much significance they’re given. Spielberg will get big letters somewhere in the poster because Spielberg is a name known for knocking out a lot of big hit movies.

But they’re pretty much the middle management of a production, with producers above them acting as the executives. The directors have a huge say in the creative process and how the vision is realized. And while the producers might demand this or that changed, it’s the director actually doing the work to make it all come together and to guide the actors and camera crew and support staff to achieve the right angles and the dialogue dropped in the right way and the right lighting.
