Detective Conan Movie 17: "Private Eye in the Distant Sea" (2013)

[Wakarimashita]

With that much profit, I doubt the manga series will end any time soon *facepalms*
It's okie though

Biggest movie franchises in Japan (as of August 2012) :

Film - Revenue - Film Entries
1. Harry Potter :: ¥96.57 billion [8]
2. Pokemon :: ¥68.48 billion [15]
3. Doraemon :: ¥67.74 billion [32]
4. Detective Conan :: ¥41.34 billion [16]
5. Star Wars :: ¥40.04 billion [6]
6. Pirates of the Caribbean :: ¥36.59 billion [4]
7. Bayside Shakedown :: ¥34.76 billion [3]
8. Jurassic Park :: ¥27.48 billion [3]
9. The Lord of the Rings :: ¥27.29 billion [3]
10. The Matrix :: ¥26.40 billion [3]
11. Umizaru :: ¥25.38 billion [4]

Hopefully with this year's movie the franchise can cross the 45 billion mark. And I'm going to be crazy and hope the Lupin vs Conan movie can help it achieve the 50 billion mark by early 2014.

Lol, very irritated how pokemon is so popular! I have seen some little stuff on TV, and I hate it (or am I missing something?)! Very glad for DC though, never thought the movies were so known.

Pokemon's popularity has declined. Its first movies made around 6 to 7 billion yen. A few years ago, it was still at 4.5-5 billion yen almost every year. We'll see how it does this year but last year's movie was beaten by Doraemon and was barely over DC in gross.

Saw lol on the spoilercbox post this

The film film opened on April 20 in Japan in the #1 spot at the box office. The 17th Detective Conan film opening weekend was 106.6% higher than last year's film, Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker, earned on its way to an eventual final total of 3.29 billion yen (US$35.4 million).

I still can't decide whether or not to go see it. I don't even know the plot of this one. Last year's movie I didn't see due to lack of interest.

[Wakarimashita]

The reviews are pretty good and the film has much better scores on japanese websites compared to last year's movie so I would suggest going to see it.

Off-topic: well the next movie is going to have Ashs overrated Charizard in it. Right now Pokemon is just doing a fan service arc. So I don't expect the next movie to be that low in ratings, but yeah, Pokemon movies have gotten so much worse over the past 3~4 years.

Back on topic, since I'm still not familiar with people subbing movies. When does the DVDs usually come out and when do we usually get a really good sub (eg lip sync)? Is DCTP still subbing movie 17 btw?

The DVD usually comes out in October/November (not sure which one). DCTP isn't subbing movie 17, but Hubuki subs say that they're going to sub movie 17.

DVDs usually are out for rental purpose in mid October. The actual one for sale comes later in November (I think?) I heard a fansub group named Lucariopk announced to take care of Movie 17, too. However after DCTP, Puto and M-L Project seem to provide the most reliable translation, so I really hope they'll have a look into this It'll be a great-great-great relief. I'm hungry for the movie but I'll wait for whatever it takes to get a hold of a good release.

Great weekend to end Golden Week this year.

Detective Conan makes it 3-consecutive weeks on top now and should stay there for one or two more weeks, too.

Next week-end will be rough, post goldenweek week-end obliged...hopefully it can pull a drop around 35%.

It's still in theaters in Japan, If you're in the states and want to watch it, you're going to have to wait until Oct/Nov to see it.

[ssjup81]

I think I'll pass on seeing it. I hate going to the movies by myself. ^^
