The line chart gives information about the proportion of four different ages who frequented movies at least once a month in a specific country from 1978 to 2008.
Overall, the percentage of individuals in terms of age had decreased significantly over the first 10 years before having a considerable rise over the following 10 years. Additionally, people from the age 14-24 often go to the cinemas the most, whereas the opposite was true in the case of people aged 50 or older.
In 1978, after 14-to 24-year-olds who visited cinemas on a monthly basis having the highest rate at 92%, the proportion of attendance fluctuated slightly around 90% over the subsequent 30 years, ending the period at 88% in 2008. Besides, the age group of 25 to 34 witnessed the most significant decline, dropping from 80% in 1978 to 60% in 1988, but it later recovered, stabilizing at around 80% from 1988 onwards.
After fluctuating between 80% to 60% in the first 10 years, the percentage of the 35-49 age bracket surged gradually to a peak of 70% in 1998 and subsequently observed a minor decrease in 2008. The over-50s mirrored this trend, beginning at around 40% and falling to a low of 30%, followed by a substantial rise to end at 50%.
