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

[irishock]

I think the movie looks pretty good, probably'll be the best in a while. The only thing that would make the movie even better is re-inputting Kimi Ga Ireba, tbh..

Detective Conan is in a great position to remain on top of the box-office for it's 5th-consecutive weekend. Four-consecutive weeks happens fairly regularly each year (3/4x usually), but five+ is a bit more uncommon.

DC is very popular in Japan so I see nothing to be surprised. This movie is already my favorite following Captured in Her Eyes & The Lost Ship in the Sky.
Btw guys... any news about Movie 18?

Great hold for Conan. Like last week, the estimates are so close between the top 3 that it will be hard to say which film gets the n°1 spot until the official rankings are out.

[red.orchid]

Agreed, it's been doing great. Good enoughh.

8 Conan movies in this list, 9 for Doraemon and 14 for Pokemon. Those 3 franchise alone account for 56% of the list.

Regarding movie 17, it seems to be holding on much better than movie 13 did in its 5th weekend. A franchise record is looking more and more likely.

[Wakarimashita]
