This infographic was submitted to us by Cineworld Cinemas, who also provided this description:

Here is all what you need to know about the last century of cinemas.
This is a fun look at how the movie-going experience has changed over the last century. The difference in screen size, food offerings, and dress code have been enormous! I really like the comparisons of the revenues for top movies in the ’20s versus today; it’d be cool to see that visualized with a quantagram, bar graph, or other form of data viz.
Overall, the infographic does a good job of using icons to supplement all the text — the “Screen Size” and “Uniforms” sections are especially helpful, as is the map.
One design note: it’s a bit jarring how dramatically different the various sections are after the main comparison. Infographics should strive for some visual unity throughout, and this one varies quite a bit. That can be distracting for the viewer, so keep continuity in mind.
A quick typo note: there’s no need for an apostrophe in “1920s” in this case!
In all I’d give this infographic a B-, since it could benefit from a bit more unity.
