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)?

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.
If its in the past, it is “this past Saturday” or “last Saturday” (assuming its not Sunday and you are just saying yesterday).
