advance screening
Before general release
An advance screening is a showing of a film before its official public release, typically for critics, industry professionals, or promotional audiences.
Studios use advance screenings to generate buzz and early reviews: We got tickets to an advance screening of the new Marvel movie.
Sometimes called a sneak preview.
