as per Gorbies suggestion, you would have to use a level above the projector to ensure that the projecter was level. Then you'd have to know that the baseboard/wall was level with the floor that the projector sits on.
Are all the frames identical, and have identical hanging features?
If yes, I would do this: Purchase a level, or a chalk line. I think that some chalk lines have a leveling guage somewhere on them.
With either, choose where you want the nail to go into the wall. let's say you're using the level.
I would first take a tape measure and measure a vertical height from the floor (assuming the floor is pretty level) in several places, to a point on the wall you want the pictures hanging at.
Once you have a few points, use the level between two points to see if they are level.
If they are, you can use the level as a straight edge and draw a very light line with pencil or something easy to remove.
Once that line is there you can start measuring with a tape measure equal distances from the point where the nail will go in.
This way you get even spacing horizontally and vertically.Seems quite a process, I know, but there doesn't seem to be a really quick way to do this and do it right.
And, first, I would measure you're availabe wall space from left to right and calculate how many frames you can put up and how you can space them:
