The first sounds a bit off to me, but both sentences are acceptable.
The first sentence is a less-clear passive sentence that could be written like this:
"When is the movie released (by the production company)?"
Even so, it sounds like a habitual use of "release" rather than a one-time event, so my brain doesn't like it. Saying, "When are movies usually released?" is perfectly fine because the passive voice is clear AND it's habitual.
After all that, though, BOTH sentences would be understood, and I have heard many people use the first sentence in conversation.
I would suggest you use, "When does it come out?" and save yourself the trouble. It sounds more natural, as well. :)
