It may have never existed on any distribution. But it may have existed as well. 
So saith the source code: https://9p.io/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/dict/utils.c 
(search for the word movie) 
Also, oops, it's /lib/movie/data, my bad!

Computers are primarily for processing knowledge. Having knowledge at my 
computer seems useful. The alternative is to either google the movie and open 
the Wikipedia/IMDb page, which works, but requires WAN access; use web movie 
dictionaries which don't work in most web browsers; or convert these web 
dictionaries into local ones

You may argue that the alternatives are superior and that I don't really need 
it, but even just as a historical note, I feel like it's important to preserve 
that. All the other dictionaries on the list (and more) I have found, but not 
this one. Perhaps the original was based on some forgotten book or manually 
compiled by a notable person. It's at least interesting to ponder about
