The chart above illustrates the proportion of cinema-goers on different days throughout the week in one nation in Europe in three years 2003, 2005, and 2007.
Overall, it can be seen that across three years, people tended to go to the cinemas on Fridays and weekends rather than weekdays, while the percentage of movie watchers was relatively low from Monday to Thursday. Specifically, Saturday had the highest proportion of people going to cinemas throughout the period shown, whereas Monday had the lowest figures. Notably, the figure for Friday remained stable over the period.
In terms of weekdays from Monday to Thursday, based on statistics, Monday was the least favorable day for people to watch movies in cinemas, recorded only 10% in 2003, hit the peak at nearly 15% in 2005, and then declined to 12% in 2007. Wednesday was the only figure that witnessed a downward trend throughout the week, starting at around 16% and then dropping to below 10% in the last year. Concerning the remaining percentages of Tuesday and Thursday, those two days experienced quite the same upward U-shaped fluctuation, with the lowest point in 2007, with more than 15% and nearly 10%, respectively.
Regarding Fridays and weekends, the percentage of people going to cinemas on Fridays remained unchanged at exactly 30% in three years. People in this country consistently went to cinemas the most on Saturdays, starting at 40% in 2003 and reaching a peak of just below 45% in 2005, before about 3% dropping to approximately 42% in 2007. Sunday is the second most popular day for going to the cinemas, with 30 percent of people going in 2003, 34 percent in 2005, and 33 in 2007.
