Box office data for ice shows produced by Yuzuru Hanyu

Hi everyone! Our author team is currently working on the ice show sub-article of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, and we were asked by reviewers to look up the total grossings/box office data for the shows. Three of the four ice shows have an entry on IMDb already, but we have no access to the box office data. If we are allowed to use IMDb as a source, can someone help out with access? Or is it possible to get the information elsewhere? Thank you very much in advance! Henni147 (talk) 16:21, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

See WP:IMDb. It cannot be used as a source. I don't know if IMDb generally cites sources for box office data. I doubt it but if it does then it's possible these sources could be useful. But otherwise it's mostly useless for this. I wouldn't even rely on it to find something to use as a search term for something like this. Nil Einne (talk) 07:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@Nil Einne: Thank you very much for your response! We will try to find the information elsewhere then to make sure that it's a reliable source. Henni147 (talk) 15:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
