The line graph illustrates the proportion of cinema attendance at least once a month in four distinct age groups in Europe between 2000 and 2011.
Overall, there was an increase in the percentage of cinema-goers in all age brackets despite some fluctuations. Notably, people aged 15 to 24 exhibited the highest frequency, whereas an opposite pattern was seen in the 35 and over age group.
Regarding individuals aged 15-24 and over 35, In 2000, cinema attendance among the 15-24 age group was 15%, which was nearly 15 times as high as the 35 and over age group. Over a six-year period, the former’s frequency rose significantly to around 45% before fluctuating between 35% and 55% from 2006 to 2010; meanwhile, the latter showed a marginal growth throughout the same period, reaching approximately 10% in 2010. Subsequently, following a surge to its peak of nearly 60% in 2010, the proportion of those aged 15-24 fell to around 52% in the final years, while that for those 35 and over continued to rise and settle at about 40% lower at the same time.
Turning to the others, at the beginning of the period, precisely 10% of individuals aged 7-14 attended the cinema, which was twice as high as ones aged 25-35. In the subsequent years, despite an upward trend, both age cohorts oscillated, reaching their peak with nearly 40% for the former and 32% for the latter in 2008. At the end of the period, the proportion of both converged at 30% after some fluctuations.
