A "real" answer can only be provided by a lawyer with a good knowledge
on copyright issues, and greatly depends on your specific case.

The data is a property of IMDb, released under various licenses; we
just provide the code to manipulate it.

At the bare minimum, for sure you are not allowed to redistribute them
and in no case you should gain anything from them (so, no ads in the
app for example).

For a more articulated answer see
