Sorcerer's Apprentice Curse?

From Vanishing New York:

… buildings collapse all the time, right? So here's the spooky part. What movie is slated to film in front of this building later this week?

Hint: The movie has already racked up two freak accidents in the past week, a car crash on 7th and 50th that injured 8 and another in Times Square that struck 2 pedestrians and a Sbarro. Plus: A dry cleaners went up in flames on the same corner in Park Slope where this movie was being filmed.
