Task 1

The charts show the percentages of films shown in Britain and Australia by origin in year 2000. The second chart shows the cinema attendance in Britain and Australia throughout the period 1980 to 2000.

The highest percentage was 78% of films shown in Britain which came from the USA, while in Australia US films reached about 68%. British films shown were not as high as US films with only 20% in Britain and 59% in Australia. What we notice is there were no Australian films shown in Britain comparing to 10% shown in Australia.

In this chart British cinema attendance in 1980 started with 100 million and then declined dramatically to half this during the period from 1980 to 1982. Australian cinema attendance had the same decreasing percentage and it fall from 40 million to 20 million. The cinema attendance in Britain reached its highest point in 2000 with 150 million. During 1984 to 1990 the number of Australian’s attending cinemas was almost stable at 40 million. After that, the Australian attendance started to increase steadily throughout the years from 1990 to 2000.

In conclusion, US films are the most popular films shown in both Britain and Australia. We find out that there are no Australian films shown in Britain. In the last chart we see that the highest cinema attendance was in Britain with 150 million.
