The line graph gives information about the proportion of people of different age groups going to the movies at least one time per month from 1984 to 2003.
Overall, it is clear that the popularity of going to the cinema went up during the period shown among all four age brackets, with the 15-24 group doing so the most, while those above 35 years old had the least interest.
Looking at younger individuals, in 1984, around one-fifth of those from 15 to 24 had the habit of visiting the cinema, far higher than the youngest group, 7-14, at about 12%. An upward trend was recorded for the former group, with its figures rising to around 30% in 1993, before fluctuating in the next 9 years and increasing again to approximately 55% in 2005. A similar increasing tendency was seen in the 7-14 age bracket, as the numbers also rose to around 30% in 1993, but declined after that to only 25% in the final year.
Regarding the other groups, there were around 5% of 25-to-35-year-olds and 2% of people older than that going to the cinema at least once a month in 1984. The younger bracket’s numbers increased significantly to nearly a quarter of respondents in 2005, despite some fluctuations from 1996 to 2003, while those for the older group did so far less significantly, rising to only about 17% in the last year.
