3. Seniors Watch a Lot of Movies

If you thought movie-going is all the rage just among the younger generation, you’d be wrong! In fact, people over the age of 50 watch an average of 6.8 movies per year, making up almost one-third of all cinema trips. 70% of them like going before 7 PM, in contrast to millennials.

It doesn’t end there! As people grow older, they have even more time to spare. Seniors over the age of 65 watch as many as 7.3 movies per year. So while you might not have time to watch your bucket list of movies, don’t worry, you’ll have the chance to do so during retirement.
