The bar chart compares the unit sales of tickets between two age cohorts at the August Cinema in 2020.
Overall, children and teenagers from 10 to 19 years old were more attracted to animated movies, whereas young adults aged 20 to 29 favoured comedy. Additionally, the older age bracket generated higher sales across most given genres, except for animation and science fiction, which were chosen more by the younger age group.
Romance, action and comedy appealed more to the 20-to-29 age group. Notably, the largest sales difference between the two cohortswas documented in comedy, where approximately 150,000 tickets were sold to movies goers in their twenties, which was around five times the figure for those aged 10-19. Similarly, romantic movies showed a contrast in preferences between two age groups, with a significant number of roughly 115,000 tickets being sold to the older audience, yet only about 15,000 to the younger one. In contrast, action movies were the genre that exhibited the most balanced admissions, with 80,000 and around 85,000 tickets for both groups, with sales in the 20-to-29 bracket being slightly higher.
Animation and science fiction movie sessions were purchased more by those aged 10 to 19. Although the highest sales in this cohort were recorded for animation at approximately 130,000 tickets, this type of movie experienced the lowest seats sold to the 20-to-29-year-olds at around 50,000. Lastly, science fiction movies attrated a relatively high number of both the younger and older cohorts, with their respective sales totalling of roughly 125,000 and 100,000 tickets.
