Because it used to take a lot to design them. Before computers, they had to be reproduced painstakingly as some form of typeface printing device like movable typsets or typewriter balls. Even in early computer font design, it was a slow and painstaking process. It's not nearly so anymore, and given time the lack of paying customers and availability of free alternatives may break the insanely abusive pricing structure of the industry.

What Eurche said, plus, this is a font for an official movie. That alone will rocket it's price.

Klampenborg does not have the inward notch or nook, or whatever you call it, in the letter V as it is in the posters.
Edit: Nevermind, it's hard to see on my monitor.

If you don't mind waiting through a huge download of stuff to get just one font...
And you'd better check the cleanliness of that archive.
