Surely the American word "movie" is simply an abbreviation of "moving picture"?
It's true that Hungarian "mozi" (meaning "movie theater" or "the movies", not "[a] movie") is itself short for "mozgóképszínház" = "moving-picture theater" but I don't think there's any a priori reason to assume that the two derivations are correlated.
