On IMDB.com with 9,900 viewers so far, Arrival has an 8.5 rating. That's extremely high, but still a small sampling. For example another sci-fi film 'Gravity' with almost 600,000 viewers has 7.8 rating, and the 'Revenant', which I consider one of the best in recent years has an 8.0 from 450,000 viewers.
As far as Arrival, I sent the The Villages Theater people a email letting them know they've lost thousands of dollars. They've got The Dressmaker playing at Lake Sumter since Nov 4th and has only taken in $1.8 million in the entire world, and yet they decided to keep that and not put Arrival at Lake Sumter, and that film will probably do 40 times that amount just this weekend.
