The line graph depicts the amount of people within a different age group who attended the cinema at least once a year in Australia, by following four age groups (14-24, 25-34, 35-49 and 50+). The data is from 1990, with prediction up to 2010.
Overall, we can see that the dominant trend for cinema attendance has been positive. In general, the younger generations who are 14-24 year olds, the more often attend the cinema. The one exception is 25-34 year olds, who rise both these trends at the end of the period.
The first thing to note is that age is a clear predictor for attendance. The youngest group (14-24) consistently displayed by far the highest figures, starting the period with 90%. The figure was relatively stable but is predicted to go up further, to around 98% in 2010. In contrast, the oldest group who are above 50 years old witnessed the lowest figures, with 40% in 1990, however rising gradually to 60% by 2010.
The two middle age groups showed similar moderate trends from 1990 to 2006, starting at around three-fifths and finishing on four-fifths. On the other hand, after this point, while 35-49 year olds are expected to peak at 85% at the end of the period, 25-34 year olds are presented to increase the overall trend by declining to around 72%.
