The chart illustrates how many individuals of different age group visited cinema once a month or more in a particular European country between 2000 and 2011.
Overall, it is clear that there was an increase in the proportion of people who went to cinema in all different age groups . Additionally, the highest rate was constantly seen among young people aged 15 to 24 years old while the 34 and over age group witnessed the opposite trend.
In 2000, the figure for people aged 15 to 24 started at around 15%, rising significantly in the next 7 years, at 50%, which was more than three times higher than the initial figure. Then, the rate returned to the original level in 2006 before continuously increasing to about 52% which reached the peak in 2010, followed by a final leveling off towards the end of the period. However, beginning at only 3% in 2000, the 35-and-over-year-old group gradually rose to approximately 10% throughout the period.
Regarding the remaining two groups, 10% people aged 7 to 14 visited cinemas in the first year, which was about twice higher than the percentage of 25-to 35-year-old visitors. From 1984 onwards, those figures fluctuated widely and both stopped at 30% at the end of the period.
