He means business: Skyfall smashes UK records, shooting to number one in 25 overseas markets and grossing $77.7m in its opening weekend

It’s been the most anticipated movie of the year, with excitement brewing since the James Bond cast launched the first Skyfall premiere in London last week.

And while it was tipped to be popular, the 23rd movie in the spy franchise has now certainly made a huge impact.

Not only did it smash box office records in the UK in its opening weekend, but the movie instantly became the number one film in an astonishing 25 markets overseas.

And if that wasn’t enough, it also grossed $77.7 million with its opening weekend of release.

The film, starring Daniel Craig in his third outing as 007 as well as new Bond girls Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe, opened to an astonishing $32.4 million (£20.1 million) in Britain alone.

According to Deadline.com, the figure means that it is the biggest opening weekend for a film in 2012 so far, it smashed the all-time Saturday attendance record AND was even the second biggest Friday to Sunday opening off all time in the UK.

Only Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes in front of Skyfall for that record.

The film also left scores of other countries shaken and stirred, including the likes of France, Russia, Korea, Bulgaria and Brazil.

It also proved that Craig’s popularity in the iconic role is rising as figures dramatically beat his first two turns as the super spy.

Deadline reports that Skyfall’s launch was 76 per cent bigger than his first Bond movie, Casino Royale.

And it was 30 per cent bigger than 2008’s Quantum Of Solace.

The statistics seem to suggest the film could go on to smash even more records, with Hollywood expecting it to top Quantum Of Solace overall, which grossed a total of $586m (£367.4 m).

Meanwhile 2006’s Casino Royale grossed $594.2m (£372.5m) in total, making it the highest grossing film in the Bond Franchise to date.

Robbie William’s family and friends move into singer’s rented London house

QUITTING glitzy LA for a quiet life back in Britain, Robbie Williams was probably relishing some time alone with his wife, Ayda Field, and their newborn daughter.

But they’ve been joined by his mum, her mum, and her mum’s best mate, and his wife’s brother and his wife’s brother’s mate. And, soon, the nanny.

The Take That star left LA to move into the rented house in London with Ayda and their six-week old baby, Theodora Rose, after wanting her to have a British passport and education.

No fewer than eight family members and friends are now sharing the house they are renting in London – meaning there are 11 of them packed in.

Ayda’s mum Gwen has packed her bags and temporarily moved to England to help out with Teddy, bringing a family friend with her.

 

And, keen not to miss out on play time with her new granddaughter, Rob’s mum, Jan, is also keeping a close eye on proceedings.

Similarly, Ayda’s brother, Dylan, and football-loving chum are also over for a jolly – giving the Candy singer some much needed male bonding time. Our source said: “Robbie and Ayda’s mums get on well and are helping a lot with the baby.

“There’s a lot of football going on into the night – with floodlights put up especially in the back garden.

“It really is one big happy family. There’s always someone to lend a hand with baby duties – Teddy is getting plenty of cuddles.”

Robbie has been enjoying being back home, spending time annoying Gary Barlow by making friends with his pal’s least-favourite X Factor contestant Rylan on the show this week.

Rob, 38, and Ayda, 33, are now hunting for the perfect Mary Poppins-style nanny.

The star recently said: “Am I getting help? I’m getting hot and cold running help.”

Speaking about the couple’s house, a pal of Robbie said: “Teddy has had a regular stream of doting visitors over the past weeks.”

Tulisa in patch pop at Barlow

X FACTOR star Tulisa makes light of her “fag ash breath” row with fellow judge Gary Barlow last night — by jokingly sporting a nicotine patch.

Take That singer Gary, 41, hit out on Saturday — claiming smoker Tulisa’s breath smelled of ciggies.

And 24-year-old Tulisa responded by displaying the patch with a grin while showing off her “The Female Boss” tattoo at the start of last night’s show.

Mum-of-one Jade Ellis was the latest wannabe axed last night as controversial Rylan Clark survived again.

Emeli Sande’s Beautiful collaboration tops UK charts

EMELI SANDE is Queen of collaborations after her latest track with Labrinth went to No1 in the UK charts yesterday.

The Scots singer, who has just got married, hit the top spot after appearing on last week’s X Factor results show with Labrinth and their duet Beneath Your ­Beautiful.

The single’s success means last week’s charttopper, fellow Scot and King of collaborations Calvin Harris, had to make do with third place in the chart.

Emeli, 25, said of the song’s success: “This week needs to be ­celebrated. What should I do? How do you guys celebrate?”

For Aberdeenshire-raised Emeli, it proves that the singer is hot property, with a variety of artists clamouring to work with her.

Emeli appears to be able to do no wrong after penning songs with Cher Lloyd, Parade, Susan Boyle, Gabrielle, Leona Lewis, Alesha Dixon, Cheryl Cole and Tinie Tempah.

As well as playing Glasgow’s SECC on Nov­ember 6, Emeli will also be at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh on April 1.

A deal with Mastercard means Emeli is giving a chunk of the ticket sales to music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins.

She said: “Because of my background in medicine and my love of music and the music therapy Nordoff Robbins do, it’s a special charity to me.”

X Factor results show four roundup: jade Ellis leaves and Union J Survive

Poor Jade Ellis! She gave a great final performance for the sing-off at the end of the fourth week of live shows, as judge Gary Barlow got the final decision – and voted the singer out of X Factor.

You could cut the tension with a knife during last night’s X Factor results show, as Gary Barlow decided that Jade would be the fourth finalist to leave the show.

He had fallen out with mentor Tulisa the night before – but it didn’t appear as though there was any connection, with Louis and Nicole both also choosing to send him home before Gary had the final say.

With Lucy Spraggan excused from performing this week, due to suffering the flu, the show kicked off in fine style as the nine finalists came together for a rousing rendition of David Guetta and Usher’s Without You.

The audience found themselves in for a treat as indie-rock chart-toppers Fun delivered a rousing performance of hit single We Are Young.

Then it was all about Robbie Williams, as he gave us an electrifying performance of his catchy new track Candy.

The Take That singer looked in his element as he strode on to the stage. Speaking to Dermot O’Leary after his performance, Robbie couldn’t help but mention Gary’s dislike of Rylan, saying: “It’s all love but he’s been a bit serious with Rylan. I love Rylan, show him some love Gaz!”

How cheeky! Robbie was mentoring the X Factor contestants this week and reportedly spent a lot of time with Rylan, even mentioning his love of the singer on his official website.

That led to Gary Barlow joking that the Take That stars had fallen out over the controversial contestant.

“Twenty years knowing each other, we did a single together, and it’s all over,” Gary joked after Robbie pledged his support to Rylan on his official website. “”In five letters, it’s all over.”

With all the performances over, it was time for the X Factor finalists to make their way back onto the stage to find out who was in the bottom two, and it wasn’t long before there were just two acts left on stage – Jade Ellis and Union J.

Union J chose Pink’s Perfect as their survival song while Jade Ellis opted for White Flag by Dido, and with Louis having already lost one of his Groups in the competition, he really voted for the band to stay in the competition.

Nicole followed in his footsteps and with Tulisa also voting for her act, Jade, it was down to Gary to make the final decision.

So what we he do? As it turned out, he opted to save Union J and added: “Guys I have been tough on you, I am a band member myself and every week you come on the show I am excited at what’s coming next for you.

“I can see the excitement and ambition in your eyes and there is somewhere to go for you.

“Jade, you sang your heart out there but I wonder if I want this for you more than you want it. The act I am sending home is Jade.”

The decision came after a tiff with Tulisa on Saturday night’s show where he accused the N-Dubz singer of having “fag ash breath”. The pair said they had kissed and made up – but perhaps his choice of who to send home means there might be some more tension between the pair…

With just nine acts left in the competition, who will be staying in the competition next week – and who will be the next to be going home?

Don’t miss X Factor on STV and ITV at 8.20pm next Saturday and at 8pm next Sunday to find out!

Tabungan Tiga Tahun Hasil Memulung untuk Hewan Kurban

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Yati (64) terhitung wanita yang memiliki kebesaran jiwa. Keterbatasan materi dan berbagai kekurangan untuk mendapatkan penghidupan yang layak sebagai seorang pemulung tidak menjadi hambatan baginya untuk menjalankan perintah agama: berkurban di Hari Raya Idul Adha.

“Saya sudah kenyang makan pemberian orang, sumbangan daging kurban. Saya ingin saya sendiri bisa nyumbang, bisa naruh hewan kurban di masjid,” kata Yati di kediamannya, di dekat Rusun Arum, Jalan Tebet Barat Raya, Jakarta Selatan (28/10/2012).

Niat suci itu mendorong wanita asal Pasuruan, Jawa Timur itu untuk menabung. Untuk bisa menyembunyikan keinginan tersebut dari suaminya, Maman, ia memilih untuk menyimpan hasil kerjanya sebagai pemulung dalam bentuk emas. “Uang hasil mulung saya belikan emas dikit-dikit. Setelah tiga tahun sudah ada tiga kalung, totalnya 10 gram,” kisah Yati.

Menjelang Idhul Adha, ia sempat menanyakan ke suaminya kemungkinan untuk membeli hewan kurban. Suaminya mempersilakan jika Yati memiliki simpanan cukup. Namun, Maman sebenarnya lebih menginginkan uang hasil kerjanya sebagai pemungut/pengangkut sampah sampah digunakan untuk membeli tanah.

Dua pekan lalu, Yati mulai mewujudkan rencananya. Ia mengetahui bila Suwarno, pengusaha kayu di sebelah rumahnya juga berjualan hewan kurban di daerah Pancoran, Jakarta Selatan. Karena itu, ia pun mendatangi Suwarno untuk menanyakan harga kambing yang dijualnya. Suwarno lantas menyebutkan harga empat kambing jantan yang hendak dijualnya. “Saya milih dua ekor. Satu yang sejuta, satu lagi dua juta. Jadi, totalnya tiga juta,” kata Yati.

Kepada Warno, sapaan Suwarno, Yati menjanjikan akan langsung membayar secara tunai. Sepulang dari pertemuan itu, Yati mengajak suaminya ke pasar untuk menjual kalung emasnya. Ketiga kalung seberat 10 gram itu laku terjual dengan harga Rp 3,8 juta. “Alhamdullilah sisa beli dua ekor kambing masih banyak,” kata Yati bersyukur.

Dengan Bajaj, pada Selasa (23/10) malam ia mendatangi tempat penjualan hewan milik Warno untuk membayar sekaligus mengangkut dua ekor kambing tersebut. Kambing-kambing itu langsung dibawa ke Masjid Al-Ijtihaad, Tebet Mas untuk disumbangkan sebagai hewan kurban. “Sekarang saya plong. Perintah agama dan pesan orangtua sudah saya buat,” pungkas Yati.

Niat Suci Sang Pemulung Sampah

KOMPAS.com – Niat untuk berkurban itu terpatri di benak Yati (64) sejak lama. Pemulung yang tinggal di gubuk di kawasan Tebet, Jakarta, itu akhirnya bisa mewujudkan keinginannya. Pada Idul Adha kali ini, dia tidak lagi berebut dan dorong-mendorong demi mendapatkan 1 kilogram daging, tetapi justru memberikan dua ekor kambing sebagai kurban.

Kambing itu dikurbankan Yati di tengah segala keterbatasannya. Dia dan Maman, suaminya, sepakat menunda keinginan membeli rumah meskipun sadar bahwa tempat tinggal mereka berada di lokasi ilegal. Mereka juga rela tidak makan daging kurban pada Lebaran kali ini. Hewan kurban yang disalurkan lewat Masjid Raya Al Ittihaad, Tebet, dibagikan kepada yang membutuhkan, termasuk petugas pemerintahan dan aparat keamanan yang meminta daging kurban ke masjid itu.

“Sekarang saya sudah plong. Rasanya seperti naik ke surga,” ujar Yati sambil tersenyum.

Dorongan untuk berkurban mulai terasa kuat beberapa pekan lalu. Tiga kali Yati menanyakan ke Maman, apakah mereka mampu membeli kambing. Maman semula ragu dan tidak terlalu menghiraukan istrinya. Namun, dia akhirnya menyilakan sang istri menggunakan uang tabungan untuk membeli kambing.

Dua pekan silam, Yati menanyakan harga kambing kepada Pak Warno, tetangga mereka yang juga penjual kambing. Dia menunjuk dua kambing berwarna coklat. Satu kambing seharga Rp 2 juta dan yang lain Rp 1 juta. Tanpa pikir panjang dan tanpa menawar, Yati langsung mengambil kalung emas yang dibeli dari tabungannya. Dia menjual kalung itu dan mendapatkan uang Rp 3,8 juta. Uang ditukarkan dengan kambing dan sisanya dibelikan kalung emas yang lebih kecil.

Pak Warno mengusulkan agar Yati menitipkan kambing di tempatnya hingga mendekati saat pemotongan hewan kurban. Yati menurut, tetapi karena tidak sabar ia menuntun kambing ke masjid pada Selasa malam. Saat itu belum ada orang yang menaruh hewan kurban di masjid. Yati juga setia memberi pakan kambingnya setiap hari hingga waktu pemotongan hewan kurban, Sabtu pagi.

H Suhendra, panitia kurban Masjid Raya Al Ittihaad, mengaku terkejut dengan niat Yati. “Selama ini, dia tidak pernah absen mendapatkan daging kurban. Tetapi, kali ini dia justru menyumbangkan dua kambing. Selama 27 tahun di masjid ini, belum pernah saya menemui pemulung yang mau menyumbangkan kambing,” ujarnya.

Jemaah haji di Tanah Suci Mekkah yang menyaksikan kisah Yati di Kompas TV, Sabtu sore, bahkan sempat terharu dan tergugah.

Yati meninggalkan kampung halamannya di Gunung Sari, Surabaya, Jawa Timur, sejak 1965. Yati menumpang kereta ke Stasiun Beos. Bermodalkan kenekatan, dia memulai hidup di Jakarta. Pekerjaan sebagai pemulung barang bekas dilakoni sejak saat itu. Tempat tinggalnya tidak menetap. Kadang, gerobak yang menampung barang bekas juga dijadikan tempat tidur.

“Kalau nemu pohon rindang dan saya mengantuk, langsung saja saya tidur di gerobak,” ucapnya ringan.

Dua tahun terakhir, Yati dan suaminya memilih membangun gubuk di jalur hijau Tebet. Dua kali dalam sehari, mereka berkeliling memungut plastik atau kardus bekas di Manggarai, Jatinegara, Cawang, hingga Kampung Melayu. Tidak jarang Yati diperkenankan masuk Masjid Raya Al Ittihaad bila ada acara di situ. Selain mengambili barang bekas, pengurus masjid juga kerap memberi makanan atau uang ke Yati.

Pendapatan keluarga ini tidak menentu. Selain bergantung jumlah plastik dan kardus yang terkumpul setiap hari, pemulung seperti Yati juga harus berhadapan dengan harga beli barang bekas yang naik-turun. Bila sedang sial, 1 kilogram barang bekas hanya dihargai Rp 300. Ada kalanya juga harga menyentuh Rp 1.000. Dalam 1,5 bulan, Yati dan Maman mengumpulkan uang sekitar Rp 200.000.

Utang ke warung tidak terhindarkan lagi bila barang yang terkumpul belum cukup. Utang makan, minum, dan rokok ini baru tertutupi setelah dia menerima uang hasil penjualan barang. Kalau ada sisa, uang dipakai untuk hidup sehari-hari bersama anak angkatnya. Selebihnya, uang yang masih ada digunakan untuk membeli perhiasan sedapatnya.

Dengan niat berkurban di hari raya, Yati bisa membeli dua kambing dan menutup seluruh utangnya. “Kita tidak tahu sampai kapan kita hidup. Selama bisa berbuat baik, ya, kita jalankan saja.” (Agnes Rita Sulistyawaty)
