The table and line graph provide information on cinema attendance and the frequency of visits in Australia from 1996 to 2000.
Overall, the percentage of the population that went to the cinema increased over the period, while the average number of visits per person dropped. Additionally, younger people consistently went to the cinema more often than older demographics, though all age groups followed a similar fluctuating pattern.
According to the table, cinema attendance began at 62% in 1996 and rose sharply to 72% in 1997. It remained at this level the following year before falling slightly to 70% in 1999 and returning to 72% in 2000. In contrast, the average number of visits peaked at 11.1 in 1997 but then dropped significantly, fluctuating around 8.3 visits per year between 1998 and 2000.
The line graph shows that all four age groups shared an identical trend, with peaks in 1997 and 1999, and falls in 1998 and 2000. The 14-24 age group visited the cinema the most, starting at about 15 visits in 1996 and reaching a high of nearly 23 visits in 1999. The remaining groups – 25-35, 35-49, and 50 and over – followed the exact same pattern in descending order, with the oldest group consistently making the fewest visits.
