wordpress how to replace url /bar with foo/bar for custom post type

Question

In my wp site there is a custom post type movies.i used cpt plugin to create it. so if i have a post with title zootopia it's url appear as ,

http://localhost/mysite/movie/zootopia/

however i want to change this url to

http://localhost/mysite/parent/movie/zootopia/.so when i click view post i want this url to appear in address bar

so i want to replace url /movie/ to /parent/movie/

i tried with add_rewrite_rule function

add_action('init', 'add_actor_url');
function add_actor_url()
{
    add_rewrite_rule( '^movie/([^/]*)', 'parent/movie/$matches[1]', 'top' );
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

but this doesn't work.it doesn't replace url http://localhost/mysite/movie/zootopia/ to http://localhost/mysite/parent/movie/zootopia/

is it really possible.if it's not then is there any other way to do that ?

You just need to set the slug to literally parent/movie. If you're doing it in code you set the 'rewrite' => 'slug' argument to 'parent/movie'. If it's in a plugin it would depend on the plugin, but there should be a setting for "slug" or similar.
