Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback, the 28th film in the long-running franchise, has earned 6.34 billion yen after two weeks in theaters, making it Japan’s highest grosser of 2025 so far.
The film, which centers on a mystery in Nagano Prefecture, earned 3.43 billion yen in its opening weekend, which was a franchise record, surpassing last year’s opening weekend franchise record set by The Million-dollar Pentagram. In short, Japan can’t get enough Conan.
The Million-dollar Pentagram, the 27th movie in the franchise, was Japan’s highest-grossing film of 2024, earning 15.8 billion yen, a record high for the franchise.
By the way, #2 for 2025 so far is the latest Doraemon film, while #3 is the theatrical release of the first few episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. At #4 there’s finally a live-action film: Wicked.
How far will the latest Conan film go? Will it beat last year’s record?
One-eyed Flashback is helmed by Katsuya Shigehara in his Conan directorial debut after working as unit director on Black Iron Submarine in 2022. It’s written by Takeharu Sakurai, who has penned several Conan films, most recently 2021’s The Scarlet Bullet. It has a prominent role for Conan’s guardian/Ran’s dad/detective non-extraordinaire Kogoro Mōri.
