Where’s the data coming from? I only know of one place to get box office data and it’s not open and they don’t sell it.

First reply is correct, there are a number of sources out there for this data. ListenFirstMedia, Variety and Opus Data are some other good vendor. We work with a couple.
I know of a couple of places that have box office data (for different regions) and they do indeed sell it.

ComScore/Rentrak is the first place that comes to mind that has almost complete box office info, but there are others.
