  }
  render() {
  return (
    <div>

Answer 1

Issue :

As per the api, it returns only one movie object, and it dosen't have movie key either, so you can't map through the json object it should be array.

Solution :

For : from http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt3896198

// as there is no `movie` key change `findresponse.movie` to `findresponse`

// if you want to use it as array for only one object
this.setState({
    data:[findresponse]
    // OR
    data : [...this.state.data , findresponse] // <--- If you want pushing result with previous 
})

// suggested
this.setState({
    data : findresponse
})

For : http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=YOUR_KEY&s=Batman , you can use the below one

this.setState({
    data : findresponse.Search
})

Answer 2

Try to check if data is not undefined first:

{this.state.data && this.state.data.map((dynamicData)=> 
  <div>
    <img src={dynamicData.Poster} alt=""/>
    <p>{dynamicData.title} </p>
    <p>{dynamicData.Released} </p>
  </div>
  )}
