It has been revealed that the latest movie version of the popular anime " Detective Conan ", based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama , " Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback of the One-Eyed", has exceeded 10.4 billion yen in box office revenue in the 19 days since its release on April 18th. The number of audience members has exceeded 7.26 million, and the momentum is unstoppable. Following "Black Iron Submarine" released in 2023 and "One Million Dollar Star" released in 2024, this is the third consecutive movie to achieve the feat of exceeding 10 billion yen in box office revenue. It was also announced that the SCREENX and ULTRA 4DX versions, which will be the first for the movie version of "Detective Conan", will be screened from May 30th.
To commemorate the box office revenue exceeding 10 billion yen, an illustration drawn by the original author, Aoyama, was released. It shows the main character of the latest work, Kogoro Mori, thinking about "Wani", his former colleague from his time at the Metropolitan Police Department, and includes a line that seems to link to the film.
A special theme song movie featuring the theme song "TWILIGHT!!!" by the band "King Gnu" was also released on YouTube. The video starts with a serious scene of Yamato Gansuke and Uehara Yui in a car, and depicts scenes that convey the sadness of each character, who wish to "see each other again", such as Gansuke and Yui, who were separated during the time he was missing, Kogoro and Wani, who were separated by death, and Takaaki. The main story also makes abundant use of cuts created by Aoyama, such as the scene of Kogoro muttering to the sky that plays just before the end credits.
The 28th film, One-Eyed Flashback, was released on April 18th in 522 theaters, the largest number of theaters in the series' history. This surpasses the previous film's 515 theaters.

"One-Eyed Flashback" is set in the snowy mountains of Nagano Prefecture, and depicts the "sleeping memory" that connects two seemingly unrelated people, Kogoro, who is asleep, and Yamato Gansuke, a Nagano Prefectural Police officer. While Gansuke is chasing a "certain man" in the snowy mountains, a bullet grazes his left eye and he is caught in an avalanche. Ten months later, Gansuke miraculously survives and receives a report that a researcher at Nobeyama Observatory has been attacked by someone, and rushes to the scene, but as soon as the observatory's parabolic antenna starts moving, his one-eyed left eye suddenly begins to tingle. Kogoro and Conan have arranged to meet a former colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department who is investigating the avalanche accident, and on their way to the meeting place, a gunshot rings out.
