How it's used
Refers specifically to the public screening of a film in cinemas. While it is a standard term in the film industry, it sounds slightly formal or journalistic in everyday conversation. People often prefer using simpler phrasing like 上映 when talking casually about a movie hitting the screens.
Examples
The movie will be released next month.
