Yerp, friday's a good day for screenings imho. But to be honest, i never go since i dont like going into an anime mid-series

Although if it were screening and gaming at the same time

Afternoon screenings are not the same as the Friday night screenings. I believe the screening director is aiming for the afternoon screenings to be OVAs/unlicensed movies etc, so that if you miss a week it wouldn't matter as there would be a different OVA series the next week.
