On stage, the term "pulling focus" is used interchangeably with "upstaging." As in, "When I described this scene as a gay romp, I didn't mean for you two sailors in the back to start making out! You're pulling focus! Now, knock it off, or I'll have to cut you from this scene and put you in the Olde English winter medley: Snowballs and Tea Bags."
