Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Times Square as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Named here by Times Square’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Times Square, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Midnight Cowboy 1969

“Later that decade, Times Square was depicted in Midnight Cowboy as gritty, depraved, and desperate.” Wikipedia
Vanilla Sky 2001

“Films and TV shows have also employed the opposite tactic, depicting the typically bustling area as eerily still, such as in Vanilla Sky, as well as the post-apocalyptic I Am Legend, in which Will Smith and his dog go hunting for deer in the deserted urban canyon.” Wikipedia
New Year's Eve 2011

“It was also depicted in the 2011 movie New Year's Eve.” Wikipedia

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Drawn from this place

Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Times Square as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
