The condensed typeface comes into play

Posterwire launches, a site devoted to the "paper" that promotes motion pictyoors. Examples of flashy graphics alternate with more designer-ey info: "Once you factor in all these names and titles, space becomes a premium in the billing block. That's where a condensed typeface comes into play. Most good ultra condensed typefaces (usually sans serif) will work in a billing block. A few popular movie poster credit fonts include: Bee, Univers Thin Ultra Condensed, Tall Skinny Condensed and Triple Condensed Gothic."
