If you search for Arrival:
https://www.imdb.com/find?ref_=nv_sr_fn&q=Arrival&s=all
you see there was a Short by the same title in 2013. That has the Roman numeral (I).
Theh 2016 feature film gets the (II) designation.

If you search for exact title matches https://www.imdb.com/find?q=Arrival&s... you find that there are three movies with that name released in 2016. The Roman numeral is added only if there is a match of both title and year. There are fifteen movies called Arrival but the highest Roman numeral is IV in 2012. In 2016 there were three.

Actually, when there is such a roman numeral, it is because there at least one homonym title in the same year.
