Only 10 percent of people preferred to go to the cinemas on Monday, which is the lowest compared to other days. Between Tuesday and Thursday, the number decreased slightly from 20 to around 12.5 percent.
From 2005 to 2007, the overall proportion of cinema-goers dropped slightly, approximately from 45 to 42.5 percent on Saturdays and around 34 to 32.5 percent on Sundays respectively.
