Good God…The Breakup got only a 19% creme de la creme positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a lousy 30% from the general pool. The domestic weekend take is supposed to be in the low 30s, except for the word-of-mouth factor, which looks like it’ll be dismal. (The Atlanta Constitution‘s Eleanor Ringel Gillespie said that “watching these likable actors flounder around as they try to save a picture that’s not worth saving is, well, depressing.”) Is a sharp Friday-to-Saturday drop-off in the cards? Whoa…I was just told about a 1 pm screening at the UIP screening room on rue Mayerbeer (near the Opera)…heading there now, back later.
