 * your code is using php shorttags `<?` which are not understood by all servers;
 * try with:
 *     ```
       <?php  if($i % 6 == 0) {echo '</div></div><div class="row"><div class="movie_list">'; ?>
                                        <?php } $i++; ?>
       ```

 * Nothing changes.
 * Now it loop like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="container">
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       <div class="col-md-2"></div>
       </div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       ```
   
 * It’s should be like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="container">
       <div class="row"></div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       <div class="row"></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * The 6 posts inside div row, now first 6 posts dont have div “row”, and last 3
   div “row” is out off div “container”.

 * I cannot reproduce you problem –
    I ran your code in my test site (local install)
   and the html structure shows as it should be; there is just one empty div too
   much at the end.
 * can you post a live link to a page with that template?
 * alternative structure (no fixed open and close divs, all done by conditional 
   statements using the lop counter `current_post`)
 *     ```
       <?php $custom_query = new WP_Query( $args );
       while($custom_query->have_posts()) : $custom_query->the_post();
       				   if($custom_query->current_post % 6 == 0) { echo "\n".'<div class="row"><div class="movie_list">'; } //open divs ?>
       				 <div class="col-md-2">
       					<div class="well">
       						OUTPUT
       					</div>
       				 </div>
       				 <?php if($custom_query->current_post % 6 == 5 || $custom_query->current_post == $custom_query->post_count-1 ) { echo "\n".'</div></div>'; } //closing divs
       endwhile;
       wp_reset_postdata(); // reset the query ?>
       ```

 * Here is the live demo of this code:
    [http://test.filmas24.lt/top-filmai/](http://test.filmas24.lt/top-filmai/)
 * With your’s code i get this error:
    `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

 * to eliminate any pph problems, try to change this section:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
         //Set the counter to 1
         $i = 1;
   
         //Open the row div
         echo '<div class="row"><div class="movie_list">'; ?>
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
         //Set the counter to 1
         $i = 1; ?>
   
       <div class="row"><div class="movie_list">
       ```
   
 * > With your’s code i get this error:
 * the code is not tested and is not meant for copy/paste – just as an illustration
   of the use of ‘current_post’ to output the divs.
