The line chart illustrates the proportion of individuals by four distinct age groups watching movies at the cinema once per month or more in a nation from 1978 to 2008.
Overall, while the percentage of people aged from 14 to 24 visiting the cinema on a monthly basis accounted for the highest, that of the seniors was significantly lower than those three remaining figures.
Over the 30-year period, starting from 1978, the majority of the nation’s inhabitants aged between 14 and 24 claimed that they visited the cinema at least once per month, despite experiencing changing trends. In other words, it decreased from slightly over 90% in 1978 to around 85% in 1993 and then witnessed an upward trend to precisely 90% in 1998, which was as same as the figure for those teenagers in 1978. Surprisingly, although its decreasing slightly to approximately 86% could be seen in the last year of the period, it eventually ranked first.
Turning to the figures for the three remaining age groups, from 1978 to 1988, the proportion of citizens aged from 25 to 34, 35 to 49 and over 50 all witnessed a downward trend. To be more concise, they went down to above 60%, accurately 50% and 30%, respectively. Those rates all went up throughout the next 10 years, despite that of the millennials in 1993 (around 62%) was nearly as same as the rate of people aged from 35 to 49 (around 61%). However, in 2008, despite increasing to over 50%, the figure for seniors accounted for the least, while those for citizens aged from 35 to 49 ranked second (with under 80% and over 70%), which was higher than their millennials counterparts (with nearly 65%).
