Film opened at #1 in Japan on April 18
On Tuesday, CBI Pictures declared that they are collaborating with Odex to show Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback ( Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback ), which is the 28th movie in the Detective Conan franchise, in Indonesia. However, they did not mention the release date yet.
In Japan, the movie was launched on April 18th. It debuted as number one at the box office and made 3,438,626,700 yen (approximately US$24.15 million). Additionally, it sold 2,314,690 tickets during its first three days, breaking the franchise's previous opening-weekend record.
The film takes place in the snowy mountains of Nagano prefecture, and a previous visual depicted Conan on a snowboard. Yamato — an inspector in Nagano with an injured left eye — and Kogoro — a major character whose last major role in a film was back in the ninth movie Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths in 2005 — both appear in the film. Taka'aki and Yui, who are also from Nagano, also appear in the film.
The film was directed by Katsuya Shigehara who is the unit director for Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine. King Gnu composed the theme song for the film titled "Twilight!!!", while Takeharu Sakurai wrote the script for the movie.
