Post 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.

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?
