In the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, the coordinates for the "Impact Location" that appears on the big screen (Lat 40.75136, Long -73.98712) falls on the The Haier Building. It is unknown if the writers intended to choose this location on purpose. The film Going in Style starring George Burns and Art Carney also used this location in the scene where they robbed a bank.
