matinee shows
Daytime theater screenings
Matinee shows are daytime performances, typically in the afternoon.
Theaters, cinemas, and concert venues offer matinees as alternatives to evening showtimes, often at reduced prices: We caught the matinee show to avoid the crowds.
The term comes from French for morning, though matinees now usually start in early afternoon.
