The line chart illustrates the proportion of various age groups who visited

cinema

in a particular nation from 1978 to 2008.

Overall

, there was a decrease in the percentage of three groups of

cinema

visitors who were under 50

years

old throughout the

period

,

while

that of people who were elderly increased after three decades.

In addition

, the figures for the group of customers being from 14 to 24

years

old were consistently the highest ones. In 1978, approximately 90% of young residents in

this

country went to the

cinema

, after which it declined to around 78% in 1998 before fluctuating in the range from 91% to 85% in the next 15

years

and ending the

period

at 80%. Similarities can be seen in the figures for two groups of people who were 25-34

years

old and 35-49

years

old, which started at 80% and 60% and ended the stage examined at about 65% and 55% respectively.

Conversely

, at the beginning of the

period

, 40% of seniors who were over 50

years

old visited the

cinema

to watch films, followed by a considerable drop to 20% in 1988.

However

, the share of

this

group doubled to 40% in the next decade before levelling off in the next 5

years

and reaching its peak of 50%

at the end

of the

period
