The bar chart illustrates the proportion of the film market across four types in the United Kingdom and Australia, while the line graph describes cinema admissions in both countries between 1976 and 2006.
The data in the bar chart shows that the United Kingdom had a higher share in US films, comprising almost 80%, while Australia accounted for nearly 70%. In UK films, the United Kingdom showed a significant majority, at over 20%, compared to around 5% of the Australian share. The United Kingdom share was slightly more represented at over 10%, than the Australian share, at only 2%. In contrast, the Australian share exhibited more proportions in the “Others” film category, at almost 20% compared to the United Kingdom, at 3%.
Meanwhile, the line graph points out that the United Kingdom depicted a dramatic increase. It declined sharply between 1975 and 1985, reaching under 60 million admissions, before increasing significantly again towards the end of the period. By 2005, it peaked at 160 million admissions. In comparison, Australia experienced a steady increase. The number of admissions started at 30 million admissions in 1975, and then rose to 40 million admissions in 1990. After 1990, it continued to rise gradually, reaching 80 million admissions by 2005.
In summary, US films were significantly more popular in the United Kingdom than Australia, while Australia had a higher share in “Other” films. Despite the declines, the United Kingdom showed a constant rise in cinema admissions, as did Australia.
