The line graph compares the figures for people (in percentage) going to the cinema more than once a month from 1984 to 2003. Overall, it is clear that the number of people (all age brackets) going to the cinema increased in 2003. It can also be seen that 15-24 year olds had the highest number of cinema attendance over the entire period among the four age groups.

Between 1984 and 1991, the figure for moviegoers aged 15-24 doubled from 17%. During the same period, the number of 7-14 year olds fluctuated while the number of 23-34 year olds rose gradually with percentages of 10 and 5 in 1984 respectively. In 1991, the proportion for both groups was equal at 15%.

In the following 12 years, the trend continued to increase for these age brackets. The number of 15-24 reached its highest peak of 58% in 1999 but dropped by 8% in 2002. There was no data recorded in 2003 for this group. On the other hand, the pattern for the other two age groups nearly closed at some points. In 2003, nearly 40% of 7-14 year olds went to the cinema while the figures for 23-34 year olds fell behind at 35%.

Meanwhile, the figure for people aged 35 and over remained the lowest over the entire period starting from 1% in 1984 growing just under 20% in 2003.
