The 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. 
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 

SAMPLE

The bar chart illustrates the total quantity of movies released in the UK and Australia in 2001 and the line graph indicates the box office there between 1976 and 2006.

Overall, the ticket revenue, although erratic, rose substantially in both Australia and Britain over the whole course of 30 years. Notably, the US films were the most prevalent in these countries in 2001.  

Looking at the chart A in more detail, we can see that the films produced by the USA were by far the most popular at approximately 7 out of 10. Besides, Australian and national movies accounted for the considerable share in the United Kingdom of nearly 10% and 20% respectively whilst the data was insignificant in Australia. Finally, the movies from other countries came out on Australian big screens threefold more commonly in Britain.

From 1975 to 1985, the box-office earnings in the UK witnessed a dramatic drop from 100 million to 60 million, with a relative stability in the profit in the Australian film industry at 25 million. Afterwards, the consumption of tickets in the nations, despite a slight and continual variation, increased gradually by 60 million.
