The bar chart illustrates how much income that a Hollywood film studio earned from three film genres: Romance, Comedies, and Action/Horror between 1970 and 2000. Overall, the earnings from romance movies witnessed a sharp decrease while comedies dipped slightly during the period. Moreover, the data for action/horror movies, which was considered as the lowest at the beginning, grew dramatically then took the largest percentage at the end of the period.
To begin with, romantic films were the most popular film type in 1970 which contributed a large amount of above 50%. Afterwards, its rate plummeted by nearly 10% in 1980 before halving in 1990. Ten years later, the percentage of romance kept declining and stood at under 10% and became the lowest.
In addition, comedies accounted for the second highest revenue during the period. Starting at around 34% in 1970, their revenue experienced a moderate growth to about 37% in 1980 before dipping to almost 32% and exactly 30% in 1990 and 2000 respectively.
By contrast, there was a significant raise in the proportion of action/horror movies. In 1970, it produced a mere 10% income of the Hollywood studio before climbing steadily to approximately 15% in 1980 and 1990. Then, the figure doubled and reached a peak at 37% in the last year.
