97% — How long will The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan be
Leader: At least 2h 50m at 97% · Kalshi 97% · 2 contracts · $3K volume · low confidence

Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 2 outcomes.

Why this matters:
Markets are pricing a 97% probability that Christopher Nolan's film "The Odyssey" will be at least 2 hours 50 minutes long when released. This reflects expectations based on Nolan's filmography, where his recent works have consistently exceeded the 2h 45m threshold—Oppenheimer ran 3h 0m, Interstellar 2h 49m, and Dunkirk 1h 46m (his shortest recent film). The probability gradually declines across longer runtime thresholds: 97% for 2h 50m, 4% for 2h 55m, and 4% for 3h 0m. Resolution will occur upon the film's theatrical release, when official runtime becomes public. Key uncertainty involves Nolan's creative decisions and any post-production editing changes before distribution, which could shorten or extend the final cut.

Key factors:
- Christopher Nolan's five most recent feature films have runtimes of 2h 46m or longer (Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, The Dark Knight Rises, Oppenheimer)
- Official runtime is typically finalized weeks before theatrical release and becomes impossible to change, making prediction highly reliable once the date approaches
- The film's theatrical release date, budget, and plot scope will constrain runtime expectations, with epic narratives historically correlating to longer durations
- Kalshi contract liquidity shows 24h volume heavily concentrated in the 2h 55m threshold ($3,342), indicating active disagreement about whether Nolan will produce a film above typical blockbuster length
- No contradictory production reports, director statements, or studio announcements have emerged suggesting runtime will deviate significantly from Nolan's established pattern

Contracts:
- How long will The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan be?: At least 2h 50m — 97¢ Kalshi $318 (weight 9%)
- How long will The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan be?: At least 2h 55m — 3¢ Kalshi $3K (weight 91%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
