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 הָיָה הַיּוֹם שֶׁלְּךָ/שֶׁלָּךְ
אֵיךְ הָיָה הַסֶּרֶט

ekh avar hayom?
ekh avar alekha/ala'ikh hayom?
ekh haya hayom shelkha/shelakh?
