Prompt:
You are an operations research expert analyzing the results from three different optimization solvers. Based on the original mathematical formulation and solver execution results, provide a comprehensive analysis and final recommendation.

ORIGINAL MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION:
## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_{ij} \) be the number of screenings for film \( j \) in cinema \( i \).
  - \( x_{ij} \) is an integer variable representing the decision of how many times film \( j \) is shown in cinema \( i \).

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total revenue from all screenings across all cinemas:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i,j} \text{Price}_{ij} \times x_{ij}
\]
where \(\text{Price}_{ij}\) is the price per screening for film \( j \) in cinema \( i \).

Data Source Verification:
- \(\text{Price}_{ij}\) comes from the `film_pricing.Price` column.

#### Constraints
1. **Maximum Screenings per Cinema:**
   - For each cinema \( i \), the total number of screenings must not exceed the maximum allowed:
   \[
   \sum_{j} x_{ij} \leq \text{Max\_Screenings\_Per\_Day}_i
   \]
   Data Source Verification:
   - \(\text{Max\_Screenings\_Per\_Day}_i\) comes from the `cinema.Max_Screenings_Per_Day` column.

2. **Seating Capacity Constraint:**
   - For each cinema \( i \) and film \( j \), the expected number of attendees per screening must not exceed the cinema's capacity. Assuming average attendance per screening is a known parameter \( \text{Avg\_Attendance}_{ij} \):
   \[
   \text{Avg\_Attendance}_{ij} \times x_{ij} \leq \text{Capacity}_i
   \]
   Data Source Verification:
   - \(\text{Capacity}_i\) comes from the `cinema.Capacity` column.
   - \(\text{Avg\_Attendance}_{ij}\) is assumed to be a known parameter from business configuration or historical data.

3. **Non-negativity and Integer Constraints:**
   - \( x_{ij} \geq 0 \) and integer for all \( i, j \).

This linear programming model is designed to maximize the total revenue from film screenings while adhering to the operational constraints of each cinema. The decision variables, objective function, and constraints are all expressed in linear terms, ensuring the model is suitable for linear or mixed-integer programming solvers.
