Hello,
I am learning wordpress, I am trying to use the code you wrote above, it seems not creating the post type movie (i don't see it in the menu)
If i change the capability_type to 'post', it will be created , but i want to use different capability_type (other than post) can you help please ?

When you create a post type and assign it custom capabilities, you have to assign those capabilities to users or roles. By default these capabilities are not assigned to any roles or users, hence you don't see them, even though they exist.

Use a plugin like Members to view the capability to find MOVIE and give yourself access to it.
