previews

Advance film glimpses

Previews are advance showings or glimpses of something before its full release.

Movie previews (also called trailers) advertise upcoming films.

A preview can also be a showing for critics or select audiences before general opening: The play is still in previews.

To preview is to see or show something in advance: Let me preview the slides before the meeting.
