Methodology: an alert counts toward the week if its created_at falls on or before October 4 and either has no expires_at or an expires_at on or after September 28. Event-specific variants (early-access screenings, Q&As, opening-night events) are folded into the base film title. New Entrants are titles whose first-ever alert across all of SeatDrop landed in-window. Top Gainers uses week-over-week growth on alerts created in-window vs. the prior 7 days, with a floor at 3 alerts in either week. Poster art courtesy of TMDB. Trademarks: All theatre brand names, logos, movie titles, and poster artwork referenced or displayed (including AMC, Cinemark, Alamo Drafthouse, IMAX, and the studios and distributors of the films shown) are the property of their respective owners.
