Film: You know how “director’s cuts” always come out some time after a movie comes out? Whose “cut” makes the theater?

If they always release a “director’s cut” as a special thing.

Who’s cut goes to the theater?

Why do they even do a director’s cut? What is the point?

The version that hits theaters is always the executive producer's cut. The EP gets the final say on what makes it into theaters. And sometimes, the EP makes dumb decisions. Look up the director's cut of Superman II, and compare and contrast it with the theatrical release.
