The line graph depicts the proportion of people who attended cinema once a month or more in four different age cohorts in Europe between 2000 and 2011.
Overall, there were increases in the rate of people going to cinema in all age groups. Notably, people aged 15 to 24 exhibited the highest frequency, whereas the reverse pattern was seen in the 35 and over age group
Regarding the 15-24 and 35 and over age groups, In 2000, 15% of the younger age group went to cinema, which was nearly 15 times higher than the other. Over the period of six years, the attendance of people aged 15-24 surged to around 45%, while that of those aged 35 and over rose slightly to about 5%. For the remainder of the period, after experiencing a wild fluctuation, ranging from 35% to 50% between 2006 and 2008, the figure for the former continued to grow sharply, climbing to a maximum of nearly 60% before finishing at around 52% in the final year. Meanwhile, the figure for the latter witnessed a modest growth, reaching approximately 14% during the same period.
Turning to the others, at the beginning of the period, exactly 10% of those aged 7-14 attended cinema, which almost doubled the data for people aged 25-35. In the following years, despite the rate of cinema-goers increased, both age groups showed an oscillation before converging at about 32% in 2008. Between 2008 and 2010, while the figure for the 25-35 age band almost maintained its highest position, that for the 35 and over age cohort rose by 5%, hitting a peak of nearly 40% before both of them met again at 30% in 2011.
