Are the "rather" in "would rather" and the "rather" in "rather than" actually the same in meaning? Thank you!

I have a question. When a movie is being shown in theaters, I believe the verbs 'play' or 'show' are commonly used to express this, as in the following examples: Ex) ・The movie is playing nationwide. ・The movie is showing nationwide.

I would appreciate your response. Thank you.
