Hi Qianyu,
what you're doing seems to work for me.

Only thing I'd do, is to be sure that you're using the version from
the repository: https://github.com/alberanid/imdbpy

Also notice that there's a distinction between 'data sets' (like "business")
and the keys that will be added when you fetch a given data set (like "gross",
"budget" and so on).
For more information, see this thread:
https://sourceforge.net/p/imdbpy/mailman/imdbpy-help/thread/CAMWn9PRmzniiu%3Dkt7dbRgj8AGT2p30s6%2BP_N21zAcZotDG2ViA%40mail.gmail.com/#msg35935475

My test:

>>> from imdb import IMDb
>>> ia = IMDb()
>>> bh = ia.get_movie('0112573')

# let's update business information
>>> ia.update(bh, 'business')

# now check which keys were added by the 'business' info set
>>> print bh.infoset2keys['business']
[u'gross', u'copyright holder', u'filming dates', u'budget',
u'admissions', u'opening weekend', u'rentals', u'production dates']

# print the gross key
>>> print bh.get('gross')
[u'$75,609,945 (USA) (13 June 1996)', u'\xa310,812,243 (UK) (19
November 1995)', u'\xa33,342,433 (UK) (12 September 1995)',
u'$16,679,000 (UK)', u'$210,409,945 (Worldwide) (31 May 2012)',
u'\u20ac6,878,567 (Spain) (10 July 2003)', u'ESP 1,136,000,000
(Spain)']


Hope this helps,
