I'm kinda curious (not a OP manga reader), is that little bit about Sengoku and Garp VS Shiki cannon? It kinda seems pointless to have more movie tie-ins at this point, so I have to assume that he is a real, possibly significant character. If so, I never would have guessed.
Well the chapter Oda made for the movie (episode 0) fits the canon and support everything mentioned in the story so far. I would be incline to say that Oda fully intended for that chapter to be canon since it's very consistent with the whole story. The movie itself should really be treated as such since no one will mention anything even remotely related to it.
Kishi is a character Oda already thought of before the movie even got announced, he was mentioned as the only person to ever escape impel down in the conversation between Garp and Sengoku (chapter 530).

The stuff about Shiki was mentioned in the manga, and the actual fight was shown in a tangent manga mini-arc, although really the whole thing was pretty much thrown in by Oda to support the movie he helped write.

And Shiki's character had already been planned by him for a while, Oda was just thinking on how to use it and then the movie plan came along.
