Post subject:  Actors with Multiple Films in Theaters Simultaneously

Sort of a random topic, but felt like pointing this out. Just for the heck of it.

I noticed an unusual number of actors currently have multiple films out right now (mostly due to a certain recent comedy bomb).

Thread can be used to post other times when an actor has been in several current films.

Right now (in rough order of box office rank):

Jessica Chastain:
Mama
Zero Dark Thirty

Hugh Jackman:
Les Mis
Movie 43
Rise of the Guardians

Emma Stone:
Gangster Squad
Movie 43

Russel Crowe:
Les Mis
Broken City

Johnny Knoxville:
The Last Stand
Movie 43

Kevin James:
Here Comes the Boom
Hotel Transylvania

Jennifer Lopez:
Parker
Ice Age: CD

Paul Rudd:
This is 40
Perks of Being a Wallflower

Christopher Mintz-Plasse:
Pitch Perfect
Movie 43

John Goodman:
Argo
Monsters Inc (3D)
Flight

Billy Crystal:
Parental Guidance
Monsters Inc (3D)

Naomi Watts:
Movie 43
The Impossible

Jude Law:
Anna Karenina
Rise of the Guardians

Probably missed a couple but am not not going check all the little films.

Impressive, seams like Jude Law always has at least tow films out.

Now I'm wondering what the record is.

Jackman has done four once with the aid of voice acting:

The Fountain
Happy Feet
Flushed Away
The Prestige

(all in the top 20!)

I wonder if anyone ever had five, where at least one was a starring role?

Lol, yes, I remember in the first half of the last decade, Law seemed to be in EVERYTHING.
