The table illustrates the percentage of people who attended the cinema between 1996 and 2000, while the line graph shows the average number of cinema visits per person in different age groups over the same period.
Overall, cinema attendance remained relatively stable at around 70% throughout the five years. By contrast, the average number of visits peaked in 1997 before declining and then leveling off. In addition, younger people consistently visited cinemas more frequently than older age groups.
According to the table, the proportion of cinema-goers increased from 62% in 1996 to approximately 72% in both 1997 and 1998. This figure then experienced a slight decline of about 2% in 1999, before rising again to around 72% in 2000. In contrast, the average number of cinema visits per person rose from 10.3 in 1996 to a peak of 11.1 in 1997, after which it fell steadily to roughly 8.3 between 1998 and 2000.
Turning to the line graph, people aged 14-24 recorded the highest cinema-going frequency throughout the period, increasing from about 15 visits in 1996 to 17 in 2000. Similar upward trends were observed among the 25-35 and 35-49 groups, while those aged 50 and over consistently made the fewest visits despite a gradual increase.
