The line graph illustrates the percentage of people from four different age groups (7-14, 15-24, 25-34, and 35 and over) who visited the cinema once a month or more between 1984 and 2003.
Overall, the 15-24 age group consistently had the highest percentage of monthly cinema-goers throughout the period, while the 35 and over group had the lowest. All age groups showed a general upward trend in cinema attendance, with some fluctuations.
In 1984, the 15-24 group started at around 18%, gradually increasing to about 45% by 1999, and peaking at nearly 60% in 2003. The 7-14 age group followed a similar trend, starting below 20%, then rising steadily to approximately 40% in 2003.
The 25-34 group remained relatively stable from 1984 to 1994 but saw a noticeable increase after that, reaching around 40% by the end of the period. Meanwhile, the 35 and over group showed the least change, with only a modest rise from around 10% to just above 20%.
To summarise, younger people, especially those aged 15-24, were more likely to attend the cinema frequently, and cinema attendance increased for all groups over time.
