The picture compares two graphs in terms of cinema attendance and the amount of money spent on cinema tickets in Australia between the years 1980 and 2015. Overall, what stands out from the two graphs is that there were several fluctuations in both attendance and expenditure on tickets. The number of cinema-goers reached a peak around 2010, while for ticket sales it was in 2015.
Looking at the details, regarding cinema attendance, the number of people attending cinemas started at 35 million in 1980, then fluctuated over the next 25 years, leveling off at around 50 million until 2005. Then, it experienced moderate growth, reaching 72 million in 2010. After that, it again fluctuated slightly, finishing at just under 70 million in 2015.
By contrast, the amount spent on cinema tickets fluctuated between 1980 and 2000. However, after that it grew continuously; particularly between 2010 and 2015, there was a sharp increase, finishing at around 1,150 million AUD.
