With all the new video screens that play 24/7 this neighborhood is never dark. Maybe he has glaucoma or something and needs a vision check.

If anyone hasn't been to Times Square in the last couple of days, make time in your theatre trip to watch the ENORMOUS 8+ story video wall that was unveiled and now spreads the entire block on the east side of the Marriott Hotel along Broadway running an ad for the real estate industry, of all things that doesn't need promoting. It's got computer animation that runs a show for about 5 minutes or so. The size is overwhelming. I can't even imagine what the cost would be to run an ad there, but if your show was on that wall there is no way anyone for many blocks could miss it. I hope the Met's opening night broadcast is on there next year.

GOOGLE will be the exclusive advertiser on the screen in a few days.(for a few months, I believe)

Hard to believe the Marquis Theatre will no longer have a presence on the "Broadway" side.

I do like the way the new entrance reinforces the two neighboring theaters by creating a theatre row effect.

The Nederlanders must be bummed they no longer have that "free" advertising in the middle of Times Sq.

1. what makes you think it was "free"?

2. considering that there is no evidence suggesting the exposure sold any meaningful number of tickets to a remarkable number of flops, why would they be bummed?

well that's why I put quotes around FREE

it was free advertising when broadcasts ( CNN & ABC) flashed to whatever played at the Marquis on rocking New Years Eve

Reporters have guessed that it's over $2.5 million for four weeks of advertising.

Interesting comparison would be 4 weeks of advertising on that scale in the NYTimes.
