Methodology: an alert counts toward the week if its created_at falls on or before September 6 and either has no expires_at or an expires_at on or after August 31. Event-specific variants (early-access screenings, Q&As, opening-night events) are folded into the base film title. Top Bookings counts booking confirmations (self-reported by users) made during the week. Top Gainers compares alerts created in-window vs. the prior 7 days, with a floor at 3 alerts in either week, among films that had alert activity in the 4 weeks before the window; films new in that period appear as "new".
