The two line graphs display the percentage of people in Australia who attended the cinema and the amount of money spent on cinema tickets from 1980 to 2015.
Overall, both cinema attendance and spending increased during this time, but spending rose more sharply. Attendance grew steadily, though it had some fluctuations.
In 1980, about 35% of the population went to the cinema. This number increased to around 45% by 1990. It kept growing and peaked at about 65% in 2010. After that, the percentage dropped slightly to just above 60% by 2015. There were some small changes around 2005 and 2015, but the general trend was upward.
Spending on cinema tickets began at just under 200 AUD in 1980. It gradually rose and reached about 500 AUD in 2000, then remained steady for a few years. After 2005, there was a significant increase, and by 2015, spending was close to 1,200 AUD.
In comparison to attendance, the money spent on cinema tickets increased much more, especially in the later years.
