The line graph illustrates the percentage of people in four distinct age groups who visited the cinema at least once a month between 1984 and 2003.
Overall, it is evident that cinema attendance was most popular among individuals aged 15–24 throughout the period, while those aged 35 and above consistently showed the lowest attendance rates. The remaining two age groups, 7–14 and 25–35, followed similar trends and converged towards the end of the period.
In 1984, around 17% of people aged 15–24 visited the cinema monthly, making them the leading group. In contrast, the attendance rate for those aged 35 and older was negligible, at just 1%. The 7–14 and 25–35 age groups began at approximately 10% and 5%, respectively. By 1996, the attendance among the 15–24 group surged to 40%, while the 35+ group increased modestly to 4%. The 7–14 and 25–35 groups also experienced growth, reaching 15% each by this time.
From 1996 onward, the age group of 15–24 experienced fluctuations but peaked at nearly 50% in 2003, maintaining their dominance. Similarly, the 7–14 and 25–35 groups fluctuated but aligned at roughly 30% by the end of the period. Meanwhile, the 35+ age group demonstrated a steady rise in attendance, climbing to 13% in 2003, though they remained the least frequent visitors.
