Viele Fans warten gespannt auf den Kinostart der Fortsetzung.

Der Kinostart ist am 15. Mai.
The cinema release is on May 15.
Common adjectives are 'offizieller' (official), 'weltweiter' (worldwide), or 'deutscher' (German) with 'Kinostart' (cinema release). A typical verb is 'verschieben' (to postpone) when the date is changed.
Wegen Produktionsproblemen wurde der Kinostart auf nächstes Jahr verschoben.

publication / release
'die Veröffentlichung' and 'der Kinostart' can both be important for a new film. 'Veröffentlichung' is more general: a film, a book, a song, or a study is made publicly available. 'Kinostart' is much more specific and refers only to the day or time when a film is shown in cinemas for the first time. The words can be confused when talking about films. If the point is generally that a film is coming out, 'Veröffentlichung' fits. If it is specifically about cinemas, 'Kinostart' is more natural.
Zum Kinostart standen viele Fans schon am Nachmittag vor dem Eingang.
For the cinema release, many fans were already standing outside the entrance in the afternoon.
Die Veröffentlichung des Films auf einer Streaming-Plattform ist im Herbst geplant.
The release of the film on a streaming platform is planned for the fall.
