the line graph illustrates the proportion of individuals going to the cinema monthly from 1978 to 2008. The figures are sorted by ages.
Overall, younger people tended to enjoy watching movies at movie theaters than older ones as the youngest group (14-to -24 year-old) visited the cinema most frequently over the reported period, while the opposite was true for the oldest one (over 50).
In detail, people between 14 and 24 years old witnessed a relatively stable fluctuation throughtout the recorded period, ranging around 90%. By contrast, the figure for the elderly group started at over 40% before dropping gradually by 10% in 1988. It then saw a significant rise to over 50% at the end.
Turning to the other groups, 80% of the age 25 – 34 group enjoyed this activity in 1978, which was 20% higher than that of the age 35 – 49 group. However, both groups experienced a decline of 20% and 10% respectively before the figure for the 25 – 34 age group gradually bounced back to its initial number and the other group surged by around 20% at the end of the period.
