I'm just curious where this information comes from. Payroll is sometimes publicly available but I've never seen figures on gate receipts, merchandise etc so I was wondering how these are calculated.

This isn't a complaint about accuracy, I'm just in awe at the amount of details and curious how it's handled when I'm assuming there is no way to obtain most of these historical numbers. For instance are they just based on a set percentage based on market size, or some other method?
