Those are the probabilities that both halves of a pair of photons are transmitted, so you can't determine them without the information from both detectors. The distribution at each individual detector doesn't change, it's the correlation between them that changes.

... And to calculate this correlation one needs to transmit information by classical means, no faster than light.
