The line graph illustrates the percentage of cinema visitors of various age groups in a specific country over a 30-year period, from 1978 to 2008.
Overall, the percentages of cinema visitors aged 14–24, 25–34, and 35–49 showed a steady and significant upward trend, whereas those aged 50 and older experienced a downward trend.
In 1978, the percentages of cinema visitors in the 14–24, 25–34, and 35–49 age groups were nearly 90%, 80%, and 60%, respectively. However, this figure declined to 60% for the 14–24 age group by 1988. The trend reversed in 1988, with a remarkable increase to 90%, before ending at 70% in 2008. In contrast, the percentages of film attendees aged 25–34 and 35–49 dramatically decreased to 60% and 40% in 1998 and remained stable until 2003, after which they dropped to approximately 65% and 50% by the end of the period.
Cinema visitors aged 50 and older started at 40% at the beginning of this period. This percentage fell to 20% in 1988 but bounced back to 40% in 1998, remaining there until 2003. There was a slight increase of 10% in 2008, yet the percentage of visitors aged 50 and above remained the lowest at the end of the period.
