details

• Scenes for the movie were shot at Shea Stadium on May 9, 2002. Between innings of the Giants/Mets game, the crowd was filmed booing. Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock attended the game and shot a scene with Mike Piazza of the Mets after the game.
  
  
• Mark Feuerstein, who is listed in the credits, had all his scenes cut from the final cut of the movie, although you can see part of his head during the wedding scene as Sandra Bullock's character leaves the church.
  
  
• The building Sandra Bullock's character and her two companions were trying to save at the start of the film was once a theatre, and now a Church, located on 175 St. and Broadway in NYC. It's the same building used to film the Indian palace movie scene in The Guru (2002).
  
  

• The original intention was to shoot the movie in Canada (because it's less expensive), but Sandra Bullock said, "You can't shoot a movie about New York City not in New York City."
  
  
• The Coney Island Community Center is in fact Childs restaurant that went out of business years ago. It is in fact a City Landmark.
  
  
• Opening credits song "Baby, You've Got What It Takes" (TWO WEEKS NOTICE Remix) with harmonica accompaniment by Blind Lemon Lipschitz is actually director Marc Lawrence playing the harmonica.
  
  
• The film was originally set to film entirely in Toronto due to cheaper production costs, but producer/star Sandra Bullock insisted that a film about New York City must be made in New York City. It ended up being shot entirely on location within a 17-week span. It revitalized the economy of New York City after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and allowed businesses to flourish once again. In honor of the cast and crew's contribution to the city, December 11th, 2002 was named "Two Weeks Notice" Day by the Mayor of New York City.
  
  
• The house George’s brother lives is actually one of Donald Trump's homes. Trump lent his Westchester home to the production and filmed a cameo for the film.
