1) "premiere of a play" seems wrong since 映 implies screening


2) "opening night"
a. It's not necessarily at night.
b. A play can have an opening night, but a 首映 is a *screening*.


3) Examples of usage:

/to premiere (a movie or TV show)/

從《英雄》在大陸首映後,
Ever since Hero premiered in the mainland,

導演說,電影在香港首映、8位明星出席的盛會,香港媒體永遠只注意哪位明星的手和誰拉在一起等八卦,別說劇情,
The director said that when eight stars show up for a premiere in Hong Kong, the media coverage focuses only on gossip such as who is holding whose hand. Forget about the plot.
----------------------------
/premiere (of a movie)/

朱邦復在美國洛杉磯的中國戲院,看到電影《二○○一年太空漫遊》的首映,
Chu Bong-foo saw the premiere of 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles,
----------------------------
/first-run (movie)/

初期萬代福放映的都是好萊塢當紅的首映大片
Initially, the Wonderful showed only first-run Hollywood blockbusters,
----------------------------
/to greet (the eye) before anything else (e.g. when entering a room)/

首映眼中是兩公尺多的巨大銅人,
The first thing that greets your eyes is a bronze statue over two meters tall,

首映眼簾的是黃志陽的《e形產房》自天花板上垂下,
the first sight that greets visitors is a suite of free-hanging floor-to-ceiling scrolls by Huang Chih-yang, entitled "Maternity Room."

走進仙炙軒,一道溫潤光澤大理石螺旋樓梯首映眼前,與外圍希臘式愛奧尼克石柱,同樣讓人讚嘆。
The moment you enter Ambrosia, your eyes are immediately drawn to a magnificent stone spiral staircase surrounded by breathtaking Ionic stone pillars.
Diff:
- 首映 首映 [shou3 ying4] /premiere (of a play or film)/opening night/first-run/to premiere (a film)/
+ 首映 首映 [shou3 ying4] /to premiere (a movie or TV show)/premiere (of a movie)/first-run (movie)/to greet (the eye) before anything else (e.g. when entering a room)/
