Cinema Experiments 2015

The measurements were conducted in the multiplex cinema Cinestar in Mainz, Germany (located at 49° 59' 37.511" N 8° 16' 45.548" E) in two different screening rooms for approximately four weeks during the winter 2015/2016. Over the 8 weeks of measurement, 11 different films were shown multiple times resulting in a total of 135 separate screenings. Table 1 summarizes the films measured, categorized according to the German film classification system age recommendations “FSK” (“Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft” meaning voluntary self-regulation) along with the number of screenings. The average number of people present at each screening is given in the supplementary S1 Table. It can be seen that each age recommendation class was attended by approximately the same amount of people.

本次测量工作于德国美因茨市Cinestar多厅影院（坐标：北纬49°59′37.511″，东经8°16′45.548″）的两间不同放映厅内开展，在2015/2016年冬季期间持续约四周。本次测量周期共计8周，期间11部不同影片多次放映，累计完成135场独立放映场次。表1汇总了本次测量涉及的影片，按照德国电影分级体系的年龄推荐等级"FSK（Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft，即电影行业自愿自律监管体系）"进行分类，并标注了各分类下的放映场次。每场放映的平均观影人数详见补充材料S1表。数据显示，各年龄推荐等级对应的观影人数大致相当。
