Why do movies use Futura as their title font?

In the second half of this decade, I’ve noticed something. Quite a few light hearted comedies use this. It’s called Futura. Well, the Futura font family. I’ve collected a bunch of movie posters online that portray this idea:

The Hot Chick (2004)


50 First Dates (2004) – although the ‘50′ looks like a Helvetica Neue Wide variant


You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (2008)


Fred Claus (2007)


How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2009)


The Invention of Lying (2009)

Anyone else know of movies that use Futura in their posters?
