Production

The screenplay for Break Up was written by Anne Amanda Opotowsky and developed for Millennium Films by producers Jonas Goodman and Harvey Kahn. The film was produced by Goodman, Kahn, and Elie Samaha, with Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, and Trevor Short serving as executive producers.

Break Up was an early project of Millennium Films, which had been established in early 1996 by Nu Image in partnership with Samaha. It was intended to focus on higher-end films, distinct from Nu Image's previous low-budget, direct-to-video output.

In August 1997, Disney-subsidiary Miramax Films announced its acquisition of distribution rights for Break Up in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, marking the first project under a newly formed co-production and distribution agreement with Nu Image and Millennium Films. Principal photography took place in Bakersfield and Taft, California during late 1997, shortly after it was announced Miramax had acquired distribution rights.

This agreement followed Nu Image's prior distribution relationship with October Films during 1995 and 1996. Under October Films, most of Nu Image's content primarily went through non-theatrical channels in North America such as pay television via HBO and home video via Hallmark Home Entertainment.
