Arrival listed as leaving Tubi's free streaming catalog

Collider reports that Denis Villeneuve's 2016 film Arrival has been listed among the titles marked "Leaving Soon" on the U.S. streamer Tubi; the listing gives no specific exit date.

The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, 2016, and was released theatrically in the U.S. on November 11, 2016, via Paramount Pictures. Eric Heisserer adapted the screenplay from Ted Chiang's 1998 novella "Story of Your Life," and producers on the film include Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Aaron Ryder and David Linde.

Arrival was a critical and commercial success, holding a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and grossing $100.5 million in North America and $102.8 million internationally for a $203.4 million worldwide total against a $47 million production budget. It was released on Digital HD on January 31, 2017, and on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD the following month on February 14.

The film follows linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) as she leads a team with physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) to translate alien Heptapods that perceive time non-linearly; upon learning their language, Louise also gains this ability. The article says Arrival "delivers a must-see experience," and viewers can watch it on Tubi now before it exits the service.
