HomePod plays Movie Soundtrack instead of Movie

How do I get Siri to play a movie instead of the movie soundtrack. HomePod is currently useless for playing movies on the AppleTV. If I ask it to “play Moana on the Big Screen”, it will instead play the soundtrack in Apple Music on the AppleTV instead of playing the movie. It’s a TELEVISION, why does it default to Apple Music?! So annoying! Even “Play the MOVIE Moana on the Big Screen” plays the soundtrack.

HomePod mini, 16

Try saying "Hey Siri, watch Moana on the Big Screen" instead.
