Do they go to the movies at a higher rate though? My gut says yes, the young people I know generally never go and older folk who grew up with less entertainment options still do.


This 2019 study found that

    On a whole, the study showed that 35.2 percent of 
    U.S. moviegoers are above the age of 50; and 33.8 
    percent under the age of 25.
So, at least then, the distribution seems very roughly even. And there are fewer boomers living today than in 2019.

Anecdotally, I am an older gen-X, not a boomer, but going to the movies is not a frequent thing (anymore) amongst my social group. For whatever that's worth.

A bunch of my peers go to the movies pretty frequently and, though perhaps we're not precisely "young people" anymore, boomers are decades older.
