I had a solution in the linked answer, but I adjusted for landscape. Follow these steps and it will give you the desired functionality.

Swift 3

In AppDelegate:

/// set orientations you want to be allowed in this property by default
var orientationLock = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
        return self.orientationLock
}

In some other global struct or helper class, here I created AppUtility:

struct AppUtility {

    static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask) {

        if let delegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate {
            delegate.orientationLock = orientation
        }
    }

    /// Added method to adjust lock and rotate to the desired orientation
    static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask, andRotateTo rotateOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientation) {

        self.lockOrientation(orientation)

        UIDevice.current.setValue(rotateOrientation.rawValue, forKey: "orientation")
    }

}

Then in the desired ViewController you want to lock and rotate orientations, like your movie controller:

 override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    // rotate and lock
    AppUtility.lockOrientation(.landscape, andRotateTo: .landscapeRight)

}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    // Don't forget to reset when view is being removed
    AppUtility.lockOrientation(.all)
}
