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.

Re: Actors with Multiple Films in Theaters Simultaneously
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 http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/ ... =47&p=.htm(all in the top 20!) I wonder if anyone ever had five, where at least one was a starring role?
