The line graph depicts the changes in cinema attendance rates among four different age groups from 1984 to 2003, based on the percentage of people visiting the cinema at least once a month. Overall, the data shows that cinema attendance increased significantly across all age groups, with the largest growth seen in the 15-24 age group. Conversely, the 25-34 age group had the lowest participation throughout the period.
Specifically, the percentage of children aged 7-14 steadily rose from 15% in 1984 to 27% in 2004, with a consistent annual increase. Notably, this group experienced a sharp jump from 20.1% in 1999 to 27% in 2004. The 15-24 age group showed the most substantial growth, climbing from 22.4% in 1984 to an impressive 55.9% in 2004. This group not only had the highest attendance throughout the period but also demonstrated continuous growth, reaching its peak in 2004.
In contrast, the 25-34 age group saw a modest increase, starting at 8.7% in 1984 and reaching 13.6% in 2004, representing the slowest growth among all groups. Similarly, those aged 35 and older showed limited variation, with attendance rising from 10.5% in 1984 to 33.6% in 2004, and leveling off after 1999. In summary, although attendance improved across all demographics, younger age groups consistently showed higher engagement than older groups.
In summary, cinema attendance grew across all age groups, especially among young people, while older groups showed only modest increases.
