The bar chart illustrates the changes in the proportion of people visiting the cinema across various weekdays in a specific European country for the years 2003, 2005, and 2007.
As the chart shows, there was a notable decline in the percentage of movie-goers on Wednesdays, while the figures for the remaining weekdays demonstrated relatively minor fluctuations across the three years. Additionally, cinema attendance in this country was highest on weekends.
In 2003, cinema attendance on Mondays was recorded at 10%, which was just one-third of the Sunday figure. Conversely, Saturdays saw the highest percentage of movie-goers at 40%. Subsequently, attendance on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays experienced a similar increase of roughly 5%, followed by a mild decline of 3% in the figures for these three days in the final year. Notably, attendance on Fridays remained consistent at 30% across the three surveyed years, indicating a steady level of interest in cinema during this period.
In contrast, there was a downward trend in attendance on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Remarkably, there was a consistent decline in the number of movie-goers on Wednesdays, which fell from 15% in 2003 to less than 10% in 2007. Meanwhile, attendance on Tuesdays started at 20%, which was 3% higher than that of Thursdays. Both days experienced a decrease of roughly 4% in attendance. However, the figure for Thursdays showed a significant resurgence to nearly 19%, while a less notable increase of 2% was recorded for the remaining weekdays.
