Malaysian cinema chain GSC Movies began streaming an English-subtitled trailer on Monday for the Detective Conan: Hyakuman Doru no Michishirube (Case Closed: The Million-dollar Pentagram) film. The trailer reveals that the film will open in Malaysia on July 11.
The film ranked at #1 in its opening weekend, selling 2,274,333 tickets and earning 3,352,494,500 (about US$21.7 million) yen in its first three days. The new film has exceeded the opening weekend of Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine (Iron Submarine), the 26th film that opened last year, making it the new best three-day opening for the franchise. The new film also has the biggest opening weekend for a film so far this year in Japan.
The film has sold a total of 10.52 million tickets and earned a cumulative 15,055,478,180 yen (about US$94.39 billion). The film is now the 15th highest-earning film of all time in Japan, and the ninth highest-earning anime film of all time in Japan, having surpassed Makoto Shinkai's Suzume, which reached the milestone in February 2023.
The film is now the highest-grossing film in the franchise, beating last year's Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine (Iron Submarine) film's 13.83 billion yen (about US$88.23 million) earnings.
The film is the second film in the franchise to have earned 10 billion yen, but Case Closed: The Million-dollar Pentagram earned it two days faster than Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine did. Detective Conan is now the first Japanese-animated film franchise to have two consecutive films pass 10 billion yen in earnings in Japan.
