Does this preview screening count as a release date?

The Jacob Burns film center is showing the upcoming Chevy Chase documentary tomorrow. The film is set to premiere on CNN on January 1 2026. The screening tomorrow is classified as a preview screening, see here: https://burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/im-chevy-chase-and-youre-not/ I just want to make sure before adding this to IMDB, does this screening, when it's called a preview screening, count as a release date?

capdeac: If you ask me, my answer would be: Yes, it counts as a release date, because they are selling tickets to the general public.

An additional question would be about which attributes to use in the form. Perhaps "premiere" is appropriate, along with the city. "Preview" has also been used.

Thanks for the input. There was also a premiere event in New York on December 4, I just found out. Just added that one.
