It might be a little late for this, but you should have said you had to honor your first commitment when you got your second invitation. Unless there is a pressing reason to pick one over the other?

You have an obligation to your family first....you can ask if it matters to them, but I think you already know it does....so explain to your friend....you can go to a movie anytime....but explain you have to spend the evening with your family. Your friend should understand.

Well, what you can do is see how late the movie is. And if your friend is willing to go after you go to your family function that would be cool.

Whoever asked first, that is what you should do. Tell the other person, "sorry. I wish you would have asked sooner, but I already have plans. Let's do it another time."

That you have made arrangements long before they told you.
