Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

Today is Friday, 3/1.
“This Saturday” - Saturday 3/2.
“Next Saturday” - Saturday 3/9.
What if it is Sunday? Does this Saturday refer to yesterday?
Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.
This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say “I went to a movie Saturday” and drop the “this” entirely in that case.
This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.
