Screenings are showings of films, typically for preview audiences, critics, or special groups before or outside regular theatrical release: The studio held advance screenings for press.
Screening also refers to systematic testing or examination—medical screenings check for disease, security screenings check for threats.
The plural often appears in contexts where multiple tests or showings occur: cancer screenings, airport screenings.
