The table compares the attendance and frequency of watching cinema from 1994 to 2002, wheares the line chart illustrates the average cinema visits by four different age groups in the same period.
Overall, it is evident that the frequency of cinema visits was the highest in 1996. In addition, watching cinema was the most popular among the youngest age group, whereas it was the least among the oldest age bracket over the period.
Looking first at the table, the minimum attendance was accounted for 67% in 1994, after which the percentage increased slightly to 72% in 1996 and remained stable in the remaining years except for 2000, with 70% attendace. However, in 1994, the frequency was 10.7 and after that, it rose moderately to 11.3, before remaining around 8.3 in the next six years.
Turning to the line chart, cinema lost popularity among all age groups with fluctuations throughout the period. The youngest age demographic (14-24) experienced the highest percentage of cinema visits over the period, starting at 12% in 1994. The proportion then grew to around 13, before dipping rapidly to about 8% in 1998, but after which, the figure started to peak again and reached 10% and remaied unchanged at the end. Those aged 25-34 and the 35-49 aged group followed a similar pattern and began at 10% and around 9% respectively in 1994 and reached at approximately 7% in 2010. Notably, from 2010-2002, these proportions showed a levelling off. By contrast, the oldest cohort (50+) started at about 8% in 1994, and then experined a significant rise to 11% in 1996, before constituting the same figure with those aged 35-45 from 1996 to 1998. But after 1998, the percentage of those aged 50 and over climbed slowly to about 6% in 2002.
