I get the impression that the Exec producer can have a lot to do with the movie, if he or she is allowed, but it can also be used to keep someone's name on the credits without giving them any power.
I remember reading once that the reason Gene Rodenberry was an executive producer on the original Star Trek movies is because they couldn't really make the movies without him being apparently involved and he kept submitting scripts that somehow ended up with Kirk on a grassy knowl in Texas in 1963 holding a gun..
