My friend and I were trying to figure out how much a billboard on times square goes for a month?

I would think it'd have to depend on the company making the billboard.

"Last year, the Times Tower, the slender, 1904 skyscraper that was once home to the New York Times, sold for $110 million. Why so much? Though the cramped building is considered unrentable above the first floor, the four major signs on its north side alone pull in some $7 million annually. (ITT's 35-square-foot video screen, Nissin Foods' steaming 40-foot-high Cup O' Noodles, and Budweiser's giant billboard each rents for between $1.5 and $1.6 million; and the most expensive rental space and largest video screen in the square, the Panasonic Jumbotron, goes for $2.4 million.) And that's not counting income from its other sides, the news "Zipper" at its base, or the rent paid by its new tenant, a Warner Bros. Studio Store."
