This doesn't mean anything but the fact that he's financing the project.

FROM THE PRODUCERS OF is still effective advertising unfortunately.

It depends on the producer.
However it's usually just more than just "financing the project".
Usually the producer will present the film to film distributers and financial entities, handle the film rights, deal with the director, actors and other staff, change around music and sound, demand new scenes to be filmed or entire scene's/major story pieces be changed completely.

So they don't *always* just handle all the monies, some producers get even more involved, others less so.

True.. but have you ever heard a producer praised for improving a film with his changes?

That line in particular is used to mislead people into thinking it means director.
