USA and EEC unemployment levels

The bar chart shows movies shown in Britain and Australia, by country of origin, in 2000. The line graph shows cinema attendances in the same countries, 1980-2000.

US films were by far the most popular. Nearly 80% of films shown in Britain, and nearly 70% in Australia were US movies. The remaining 20% in Britain were almost entirely British. In Australia, 10% were Australian, 5% British and just over 15% from other countries. Cinema attendances were predictably higher in Britain throughout the period 1980-2000. The figure in 1980, 100M, fell sharply by half in 1982. There was then a dramatic rise to 120M in 1986. After another drip in 1988, attendances climbed steadily to over 140M in 2000. In Australia also attendance halved from 40M in 1980 to 20M in 1982. The figure then increased to 40M again in 1984 and remained steady until 1990, after which it rose steadily to 90M in 2000.

US films were most popular in both countries and cinema attendances higher throughout in Britain.
