Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Sets $17.6 Million Record: Chip Suppliers and Market Impact

Christopher Nolan's new film 'The Odyssey' earned $17.6 million in preview screenings, setting the record for the highest single-day haul of the year. The film surpassed 'Toy Story 5's $17.5 million preview record and outperformed Nolan's previous Oscar-winning film 'Oppenheimer' ($10.5 million preview) and 'Inception' ($11.5 million preview). With a $250 million budget and an additional $125 million marketing spend, totaling $375 million, the film has already sold out screenings, including late-night 3 a.m. showings. Critics praise it with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, and projections expect a $90-100 million opening weekend.

Chip suppliers and markets are closely watching how this high-budget film's financing could impact the industry. Companies like Nvidia and TSMC are assessing risks related to Hollywood's chip crisis.
