 <?php // Get today's date in the right format
    $todaysDate = date('Ymd');
    ?>
    <?php $loop = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' =>3,
    'meta_key' => 'premiera_cinema',
    'meta_compare' => '>=',
    'meta_value' => $todaysDate,
    'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    'order' => 'ASC'
    ) ); ?>
    <?php while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

What you want to do in this case is to use a meta_query in WP_Query like the following. You can reference the following Codex for more information https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters. Once you have the posts. Loop over them and add their date as data attribute, and filter the items using data attributes.

$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'       => 'premiera_cinema',
            //Beginning and End date in format of YYYYMMDD
            'value'     => array( 20130101, 20130107 ),
            'type'      => 'date',
            'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
