OK this is the information I can gather. The films, in the order they're laid out outside the cinema/theater:
 * Dead Before Arrival - based seemingly on Inception, which was released July 16, 2010. "From the director of Haxan 2," so released after Haxan 2, and released in "Summer"
 * Toxic Janitor 2 - based on The Toxic Avenger Part II, which was released February 24, 1989
 * Tony Stark - based on Steve Jobs, which was released October 23, 2015
 * Haxan 2 - based on Horns, which was released October 31, 2014
 * Arkon - based on Conan the Barbarian, which was released May 14, 1982
 * Oh, Rebecca - similar to a standard 2008 rom com

Nathan Fillion's career in real life started in 93/94 with a couple of things, but he only started acting in bigger things around 98 with Saving Private Ryan where he has a small role, and then he was a big name following Firefly and Buffy in 2002-2003. So I think it's fair to say that all these films are post-2002, especially considering Simon's appearance age.

I would say Dead Before Arrival is fine for the Inception date of July 16, 2010, especially with the matching "summer," and Oh, Rebecca can be Valentine's Day 2008. Christopher Nolan's previous film before Inception was The Dark Knight which came out in mid-2008. I think with Haxan 2 we can therefore put it on October 31, 2008 for the same director to then film Dead Before Arrival in 2009 and release in 2010.

I guess Arkon and Toxic Janitor 2 can be considered spoofs in-universe, but I don't know when to place them, nor Tony Stark. The years 2002, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 are all free for Williams (11 free years), so they're good years to place them in. So the most basic pure guesswork I could do is take them in order of the films they're based on (Arkon, Toxic Janitor 2, Tony Stark), then place them at 1/4, 2/4 and 3/4 along those years to distribute them. (11/4)*1=2.75 so late 2004ish for Arkon. *2=5.5 so mid-2007ish for Toxic Janitor 2, and *3=8.25 so 8th of those, so early 2012ish for Tony Stark.


 * October 2004ish for Arkon
 * July 2007ish for Toxic Janitor 2
 * February 14, 2008 for Oh, Rebecca
 * October 31, 2008 for Haxan 2
 * July 16, 2010 for Dead Before Arrival
 * March 2012ish for Tony Stark

But that's only pure, pure guesswork. Like the most guesswork ever done on the timeline, and only if it's really necessary to place them.
