Use Have you seen to ask relative to the time of speaking - a possible context for using this tense is when the movie is still playing at theaters and you want to know if someone has yet watched it. Use Did you see to ask about the past, with no regard or reference to the time of speaking - use if the movie is not playing anymore.
