The line graph compares four different age categories in terms of their attendance at the cinema in Great Britain between 1984 and 2000. Units are measured in percentages.
Although there were fluctuations, overall, all four age groups in question showed an upward trend throughout the entire period, albeit with varying levels of growth. Of particular note is the 15-24 age group, which saw a dramatic surge, surpassing all age categories to take the lead by the end of the period.
In 1984, just over 15% of 15-24-year-olds attended the cinema in the country. Having the highest initial percentage among all age categories, it registered a gradual increase with slight fluctuations, reaching a high of roughly 45% in 1992. From this point onwards, however, it experienced marked fluctuations before remaining stable at around 38% until 1996. Subsequently, it rebounded sharply, peaking at just under 58% followed by a period of decline at the conclusion of the period. 35 and over age groups, on the other hand, began the period at the lowest point of about 2%, before a steady increase until the year 1995 when it dipped to a low of 7 %. It, thereafter, rose rapidly and attained a high of merely 12% in 2000. The 7-14 and 25-35 age categories experienced a similar pattern. Commencing at slightly different percentages (around 10% and 8% respectively), both age groups exhibited an upward trajectory with noticeable variations in the number of visitors over the entire period, finishing the period at a roughly 30-35%.
