The given graphs show cinema attendance in a certain country, particularly between 1996 and 2000, including the percentage of the population who went to the cinema, and the attendance according to different age groups.
Overall, it can be seen that cinema attendance was high and stayed quite stable over the period, but the average number of visits declined after 1997. Younger people, especially those aged 14-24, went to the cinema much more than older groups.
In 1996, around 62% of the population attended the cinema. The figure increased to 72% in 1997 and stayed around 70-72% until 2000. By contrast, the number of average visits experienced a downward trajectory after 1997, but between 1996 and 1997, the frequency of visits reached a peak (rose from 10.3 to 11.1), unfortunately dropping steadily to about 8.2-8.3 visits in following years.
Looking at the age groups in more detail, people aged 14-24 were the most frequent visitors, reaching around 25 visits in 1997 and 1999. The 25-35 aged individuals also had relatively high attendance, peaking at just below 20 visits. The 35-49 aged groups went less often, while the 50 and older generation recorded the lowest figures. Of particular note is a similar pattern, in which all groups underwent a small growth in 1997 and 1999 before falling again.
