Charts A and B show the share of the UK and Australian cinema market in 2001 and cinema admission in the UK and Australia from 1976 to 2006.

The bar chart illustrates the data on the origin of films which were screened in Australia and the UK in 2001 while the line graph compares the number of cinema attendants in these two countries between 1976 and 2006. Overall, Australian and British theatres were dominated by American movies during that period, and more British went to movie theatres than their Australian counterparts between 1976 and 2005. As the data suggests, more than 75% of movies that were released in the UK theatres in 2001 were produced in the USA while one-forth of the films were locally made. Besides, almost one in ten movies screened in the UK was produced in Australia. A similar movie screening trend could be observed in Australia in that year where American movies commanded the theatres with around a 65% ratio. Australians could watch fewer UK-made movies as only one in twenty British films made it to Australian cinema halls. Interestingly, locally produced films in Australia were ignorable in percentage - as their screening ratio suggests. The trend of movies screened from other genres was better in Australia compared to the UK. It is obvious that more Brits enjoyed cinemas in a theatre than Australians did between 1980 and 2001. In 1980, a tad over 100 million British ravished movies in halls while this was just around 40 million in Australia. With some fluctuations, Australian movie-goers' number reached over 80 million after 2 decades. On the contrary, British cinema attendees dropped from 1982 to 1985 but afterward were on an uptrend. After 21 years, almost 140 million British went to cinema halls- almost double that of Australians.
