There should be  a way from your tvOS app to link to a universal search movie item (like you get with Siri search, that includes the item and all available sources, iTunes, HBO, Hulu etc).
 
In iOS you're able to launch iTunes to link to an item using a specific URL that will be picked up in safari and launch the native app:
- Apple describes the iPhone URL schemes (is there a similar one for tvOS?) https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference.pdf
 
Is there some way to link to a search query and launch via custom URL e.g.
`search://Mad%20Max%20Fury%20Road`
