The provided table and line graph illustrate the number of theater-goings in Australia across the years from 1996 to 2000, with a focus on 4 specific age groups: 14-24, 25-35, 35-49, above 50.
Overall, there was a significant changing pattern in the cinema attendance, especially among different groups of age during the recorded period. While the cinema visits only registered a marginal fluctuation between years, the age categorised underwent a wide shifting range with the number of 14-24-year-old cinema viewers exhibited the highest rate.
Regarding the general cinema attendance, there was an upward trend throughout the 4 years. In 1996, 62% of the population went to enjoy movies, representing a corresponding rate of 10.3 in the frequency of visits. This data then increased to 72% in 1997, simultaneously striking a substantial increase in the visiting rate to 11.1 in the same year. It continued to maintain this static level until 2000 with a small decrease to 70% in 1999, demonstrating respective figures for the annual visiting frequency ranging from 8.2 to 8.3.
According to age groups, a notable trend was the dramatic swing of all age groups over the 5 years. There was a dominance of those who were 14-24 going to movie theaters throughout the period, beginning at 15% in 1996 and culminating in approximately 18% in 2000. This was followed behind by a 1% gap of the 25-35 group (14%). The remaining age group including those who were above 35 years old ranged between the percentage of 10% and 12%.
