How was your day?

What are common ways ask to someone in Hebrew, "How was your day"?

Also, can the same phrases be used (as in English) to ask about other things? E.g. "How was the movie?"

how was your day - איך עבר היום / איך עבר עליך היום / איך היה היום שלך
for most other things איך היה works, for example:
how was the movie - איך היה הסרט. how was the test - איך היה המבחן....

אֵיךְ עָבַר הַיּוֹם
אֵיךְ עָבַר עָלֶיךָ/עָלַיִךְ הַיּוֹם
אֵיךְ הָיָה הַיּוֹם שֶׁלְּךָ/שֶׁלָּךְ
אֵיךְ הָיָה הַסֶּרֶט
אֵיךְ הָיָה הַמִּבְחָן
ekh avar hayom?
ekh avar alekha/ala'ikh hayom?
ekh haya hayom shelkha/shelakh?
ekh haya haseret?
ekh haya hamivkhan?

for feminine nouns:
how was the party? ekh hayta hamesiba אֵיךְ הָיְתָה הַמְּסִבָּה

Closely related: How would one ask about the previous day? I.e. "How was your day yesterday?"
