In short, the server you're hitting doesn't seem to support JSONP, this is server-side functionality that must be present...and isn't. I also see no mention in their API docs or forums. The URL should be ?callback=? since it's the only querystring parameter, like this:

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getImages/en/json//550&callback=?

...but that still won't work, since the server doesn't support it. Just as an aside: Many times something with an API key isn't going to support JSONP (since the client would have the key), if the API it using the key to restrict access...others using it just for tracking may not care.
