The line graph illustrates the percentage of cinema visitors, classified into four different age groups, in a particular country from 1978 to 2008.

Overall, it is clear that all age groups exhibit a similar fluctuating trend over the period, although the proportions of visitors in each age group differ. Notably, the age groups 35-49 and above 50 had the same percentage in 2008, despite differing trends.

The 14-24 age group consistently had the highest proportion of cinema visitors from 1978 to 2008, followed by the 25-34 age group in second place. Both age groups experienced a dramatic decline from 1978 to 1988, followed by a considerable increase from 1988 to 1998. Their peak percentages were 90% and 70%, respectively.

The 35-49 and above 50 age groups also followed similar trends up to 2003. The proportion of 35-49 age group cinema visitors fell slightly from 60% in 2003 to 50% in 2008. In contrast, there was a slight increase in the percentage of cinema visitors in the above 50 age group, rising from 40% in 2003 to 50% in 2008.
