To get data to feed your model consider buying a data set from an industry provider like box office mojo. Depending on what fields you need, they have a very solid data set with long history that could probably be purchased for less than 10000 euro depending on the confi and on sell terms your company could agree to.

"Import" might have been more accurate than "collect". We have access to the history from various sources, but we can't yet import it automatically. I'm pretty sure the data needs to be hunted down, collated and cleaned up in difficult-to-automate ways, but I haven't actually turned my attention to the problem yet.
