The line graph illustrates data on the proportion of people in different age groups going to the cinema in the USA between 2000 and 2011.
Overall, despite fluctuating over time, the proportion of people aged 15-24 reached an all-time high in 2011. A similar pattern was observed in the percentage of people aged 7-14 and 25-35 visiting the cinema, and had the same shares in 2011. Meanwhile, the figure for the 35+ age bracket increased progressively throughout the period.
Considering outlier age categories first, there was a huge disparity in the proportion of people aged 15-24 and 35+, with the figures standing at approximately 15% and 3% in 2000. Following this, the latter rose slightly to about 13% in 2011-still showing the lowest percentage. On the other hand, the proportion of the 15-24 age category experienced almost a three-fold rise to 45% in 2006, and bucked the trend, before reaching its peak of about 54% in 2011.
As for other age brackets, the percentage of people aged 7-14 going to the cinema was 10% in 2000, which was around 4 percentage points higher than that of the 25-35 age bracket. Following this, the latter saw a slight increasing trend to about 24% in 2006, followed by a declining trend to about 17% in 2008 prior to climbing 30% by the end of the period. Ultimately, the figure for the 7-14 age cohort oscillated over the span, and ended up with 30% in 2011.
