PINK has shown the best weekend trend for films released in 2016. The film is ahead of other ’word-of-mouth’ films like Neerja and Happy Bhaag Jayegi.
The weekend trend list will always be favourable to films that do not feature a ‘bankable’ star in the lead and those that release a normal non-holiday Friday. For example, films like Sultan and FAN released on partial holidays and also featured superstars in the lead, because of which they opened very well and hence the Day 1 to Weekend trend doesn’t fall in the extraordinary category.
Another film – Rocky Handsome released on a national holiday for ‘Good Friday’ and it was rejected by the audience too.

How to read the table:
- Less than 2.5 – Very poor, irrespective of release circumstances
- 2.5 to 2.75 – Acceptable for films featuring top stars and those that release on a partial / full holiday. Poor trend otherwise.
- 2.75 to 3 – Good for films that release on a partial holiday, acceptable trend for films featuring top stars / popular franchise that release on a normal non-holiday, poor for films without stars that take a slow start.
- 3 to 3.5 – Good trend for a normal Friday release featuring stars, usually films that fall in this range have to do well Monday onwards.
- 3.5 to 4 – Very good trend, except for those films that take a very poor opening.
- 4 to 4.5 – Excellent trend for big films, good for films that rely on word-of-mouth giving them a chance to grow during the weekdays.
- 4.5 to 5 – Excellent trend, irrespective of films. Beyond extraordinary for films featuring stars.
- 5 plus – Difficult to achieve, only possible for small films that growth on the strength of extraordinary word-of-mouth.

Pink is Super movie…
a must watch
Outstanding movie, want to watch it again.
But can’t reach the footfalls of sultan even it is released in same number of theatres
@Indicine This should not be the parameter for best trending movie in my opinion. Look at your list, there is TE3N, Sarbjit, Wazir( These are not trending movies).
There should be an article on best trending movie based on weekend multiplier to Lifetime collection. Thanks.
Whatt an article!! Keep it up indicine.
Boxoffice wise FAN failed but next year FAN win all awards
Court room drama can be very entertaining if it is well made. Damini, Aitraaz, Jolly LLB, Rustom, Pink etc… waiting for Jolly LLB 2. Congratulation Big B and Tapsee.
Fan didn’t manage a good Trending So It became negative WOM movie lol
Got Positive Reviews,find appreciation for 1st half than how it’s WOM became negative in your table? . It flopped because of non holiday And SRK is like Emran hashmi On non holiday…!
So from now EID will be known as a partial holiday..!!!!
All thanks to @indicine..!!
Great job guys
Bacchan Sir content-driven movies in 2016-Wazir,Te3n,Pink…
At the Age of 70+,Bacchan sir done 3 films in 2016 and all his performances added to the word-of-mouth publicity…An inspiritional icon for the whole country..His passion towards films is incredibly amazing…
I agree, weekend to lifetime multiplier is more accurate and it used by Hollywood sites boxofficemojo as well
