PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Las Vegas-based Bigelow ? Built by  Las Vegas-based Bigelow  the company  now has  its  eye on taking  its  blow-up living area far beyond the space station  all the way to the moon.
Partnering with United Launch Alliance a joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin Space Systems  Bigelow  said  it  hopes to send put the B330 expandable space habitat into lunar orbit by 2022.
Announcing the ambitious project this week   Bigelow  president Robert Bigelow said the fully autonomous space station would provide anchorage "for significant lunar business development in addition to offering NASA and other governments the moon as a new  exciting location to conduct long-term exploration and astronaut training.
 Bigelow  said  his  "lunar depot plan is a strong complement to other plans intended to eventually put people on Mars." Indeed  researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have suggested that billions of dollars could be saved by using the moon as a pit-stop for eventual missions to the red planet.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jumanji ? In holdover news that has little to do with the Oscars  the lack of new releases helped the older hits and the Oscar contenders maintain their legs for at least one more weekend. It will be interesting to see how the likes of Jumanji and Greatest Showman play when we start getting more “big” movies over the next two weeks. But even while it came in third on  Friday  Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is expected to retake the weekend crown.
The top movie on  Friday  was the lone new release  namely Winchester with $3.6 million. But second place belonged to Maze Runner: The Death Cure. The Fox threequel earned another $3.01m (-64%) on its second Friday. That sets the film up for a $9.6m (-60%) weekend and $39.1m ten-day total.
 Sony’s Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle earned another $2.875 million (-24%) on its seventh Friday  which sets the mega-smash up for a chart-topping $11m (-32%) weekend and obscene $352.6m domestic total. That means that  sometime early next week   Jumanji  will pass Furious 7 ($353m in 2015) to become Dwayne Johnson’s biggest domestic grosser of all time. No   it  won’t top the last two Fast/Furious movies in terms of global grosses  but  it  has already surpassed everything else on The Rock’s filmography.
By the way  fun fact  now that  Jumanji  has outgrossed Inception ($822 million in 2010)   it  is the biggest-grossing video game-ish movie of all time. It will be interesting to see if Sony’s kid-friendly success offers Peter Rabbit any kind of bump due to trailer placement when it opens next weekend against Fifty Shades Freed. But  yeah  Jumanji is now all-but-guaranteed to pass Spider-Man 2 ($373m in 2004) to become Sony’s second-biggest domestic grosser.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Samuelson ? Parts of the Darrow Memorial Bridge predate the World Columbian Exposition of 1893  said  Tim Samuelson  a cultural historian with the city of Chicagoâs Department of Cultural Affairs . The original bridge was designed and constructed in 1880 by architects Daniel Hudson Burnham and John Wellborn Root. Then Frederick Law Olmsted retained the structure for his design for the Fair.
âStanding on that bridge and looking north is the most beautiful  exquisite view of the city â  Samuelson  said.
The bridge was renamed for famous Chicago attorney Clarence Darrow  who died in 1938   Samuelson  said. When  he  was alive  Darrow could see the bridge from his home on East 60th Street. And he was known to stand on the bridge and practice reciting his closing arguments.
Local lore has it that Darrow  who was an agnostic  said if there was an afterlife  he would return to the bridge every year on the anniversary of his death   Samuelson  said.
