The Break Up Premier....

Could be a bad break. Tracking surveys indicate potential audiences aren't overly enthusiastic about "The Break-Up," starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. Hollywood Elsewhere blogger Jeffrey Wells reports, "With only 12 days to go before opening, that means the game is pretty much over." A studio source said Wells "doesn't understand tracking. Looking at 'The Break-Up' compared to 'Mission: Impossible III' or 'The Da Vinci Code,' the numbers look small, but it's apples and oranges. For a romantic comedy, the numbers are very encouraging." Wells says that if "The Break-Up" flops, "not particularly sexy, not perky" Aniston will be 0 for 4 (in the wake of "Derailed," "Rumor Has It" and "Friends With Money"). "Aniston is probably one or two steps away from competing with Helen Hunt for HBO roles,"
