PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE IN VARIOUS AGE GROUPS WHO HAD BEEN TO THE CINEMA IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS, AND AVERAGE NUMBER OF VISITS, 1974–2023

Next update July 2025

People between the ages of 14 and 24 were most likely to attend the cinema in the last twelve months, and to also attend with the greatest frequency. After an historical low in both attendance and frequency in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, both metrics, across the four age groups, were up, although remain below the 24-year averages.
