👉 Showtimes math involves calculating the optimal times for movies to maximize attendance by considering factors like day of the week, time of day, and audience demographics. Typically, weekday matinees (usually 9 AM to 12 PM) attract more viewers than weekend evenings, with the best times often falling between 1 PM and 4 PM. Weekends tend to see higher attendance for late-night shows, especially in theaters with late release options. Additionally, some theaters adjust showtimes based on local events or holidays to boost attendance. The math often involves analyzing historical data to determine the most profitable and popular showtimes for each theater, balancing these factors to optimize ticket sales.
