Nginx location match causes 404

I am trying to add behavior for certain file types, but because my content isn't in the same folder, I hit a problem where the location match causes Nginx to look for content in the wrong folder.

With the following, a request for /wp-content/themes/ryu/fonts/ClearSans-Regular.woff makes nginx look for the file at /opt/wordpress/wp-content/themes/ryu/fonts/ClearSans-Regular.woff whereas if I comment the location ~* \.(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot... part, Nginx looks for content in the right place.

Any clue how I can achieve this?

server {
  listen *:80;

  root /opt/wordpress;

  location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff)$ {
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
  }

  location ~* \.(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|rss|atom|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf)$ {
    access_log off;
    log_not_found off;
    expires max;
  }

  location /wp-content/ {
    alias /opt/wp-content/;
    try_files $uri =404;
  }

  location / {
    alias /opt/public/;
    expires 1d;
    index index.html;
    try_files $uri @wpsupercache;
  }

}
