he provided chart below illustrates the proportion of individuals in four distinct age groups who went to cinema month or more in one European country between 2000 and 2011
Overall, there was an increase in a number of cinema-goers among all four age groups despite some fluctuations. Notably, people aged 15-24 showed the highest frequency, whereas the opposite pattern was seen in the 35 and over age group.
Regarding people aged 15-24, 35 and over, in 2000 cinema attendance among the 15-24 age group was about 15%, which was 15 times higher than the 35 and over age group. Over a six-year period, the former’s frequency rose significantly to 45% before fluctuating between 35% and 55% from 2006 to 2010. Whereas, the latter showed a marginal growth reaching approximately 10% from 2000 to 2010. Subsequently, in 2010 the 15-24 age group reached its peak at almost 60%, however, in the final years it declined to around 52%, while that for those 35 and over continued to rise and settled at about 40% lower than latter at the same year.
Turning to the others, at the beginning of the period, 10% of people aged 7-14 visited the cinema, which was twice as high as those aged 25-35. From 2000 to 2007, the proportion of individuals aged 25-35 increased steadily reaching almost 25%, meanwhile, the former’s percentage reached 30% in 2008, despite some fluctuations. Subsequently, the latter’s proportion from 2007 to 2010 changed sporadically, meanwhile, the former increased to about 40% reaching its peak in 2010. In the final years, former increased and latter decreased to the same percentage(30%), then intersected.
