Detective Conan Movie 18: "Dimensional Sniper" (2014)

[Chekhov MacGuffin]

Basing it on Okiya alone, a 9. lol

But seriously, maybe a 7.5 or an 8.

For reference how would you rate other DC movies?

[ssjup81]

Okay, this is how I've always rated the other films. Movies 16 and 17, I haven't seen, though due to lack of interest with both. ^^ Oh and for the older films, I don't recall why I gave them the ranking that I did.

Movie 01: 8
Movie 02: 6
Movie 03: 5 (Only because it was a Kid film and usually, films with him don't interest me much)
Movie 04: 9
Movie 05: 7
Movie 06: 9 (It dealt with Jack the Ripper...this is probably why it ranked so high for me)
Movie 07: 8
Movie 08: 5
Movie 09: 8
Movie 10: 9
Movie 11: 7
Movie 12: 6
Movie 13: 8.5 - 9 (I know a lot of people didn't care for this, but I really liked it, flaws and all)
Movie 14: 8
Movie 15: 7

Toho Cinemas Admissions (as of 02:30PM)

Saturday (as of 02:30PM):
30,360 - Detective Conan
23,857 - Frozen

Sunday (as of 02:30PM):
42,126 (+38.8%) - Detective Conan
38,683 (+62.1%) - Frozen

An insane, insane Sunday so far (and it's no holiday or discount day either).

Detective Conan has basically matched the admissions of Lupin III vs. Detective Conan for the weekend already (105,000 vs 108,000) at Toho Cinemas* with half of Sunday still to go! And Frozen is still putting up crazy numbers in its sixth-week of release, numbers that are still greater than its huge opening weekend. It may have slowed down some on the weekdays, but it's weekend business has lost no momentum whatsoever.

Detective Conan just might have an small chance at reaching 700,000 admissions for the weekend, which is just crazy. It would come close to ¥900 million ($9 million) if it does that thanks to the recent tax hike, beating the franchise record by more than 30%...what is going on here.

Both films are very likely helping one another due to sell outs or near sell outs, and they're both greatly helping the latest Crayon Shin-chan film a boost which is up nearly 50% over last year's film. It's a very stable franchise, earning nearly the same every year, so clearly it's benefiting from Conan and Frozen sellouts.

*Reminder: Toho Cinemas represents ~20% of the nation's theaters and screens.

Wow I didn't expect the movie to do so well ...that's kind of surprising, but in a good way of course since it serves the franchise.

@ssjup81 or someone who went to see the movie, I do have a little question which I may ask? ^^; Were there any Okiya/Sera moments in this one? I think I've read somewhere that

Spoiler:

Okiya sent flowers to hospitalized Sera.

Spoiler:

They don't directly meet in the movie, but Subaru does deliver her flowers when she's in the hospital. She was still unconscious from the surgery when he came though - Ran and Sonoko also missed him by a hairstring, as he's seen walking to his car shortly after they enter Sera's room and discovers the flowers

Spoiler:

Aww that's so cute^^too bad that didn't happen in the manga.
Also I wonder if Ai didn't felt the Akai BO aura during the movie?

[Neechan1992]

Eep, sorry for not using the spoiler tag in my previous post. >.<;

Spoiler:

Anyway, thank you for the quick reply, Sunny! Aww yeah, that's really adorable. Does this scene happen directly after she gets shot or more at the end of the movie? And what about the lame DB quiz this time...I think Ai does it this time? Is there a special reaction or anything? Oh and last questions (sorry for all the questioning, I'm too curious >.<;) Does Okiya wear his glasses and has his eyes closed while shooting the sniper? Thank you so much in advance!!

[Okiyakaivan]

i think okiya not closed when shooting the sniper... that could be hard when eyes closed maybe it will hit someone else?

[Neechan1992]

^ Yes, that's why I'm asking...^^;

Spoiler:

Since there is *this* moment at the end of the movie that confirms everything. So making him open his eyes would take away a bit of suspense, Idk. On the other hand he needs at least to open one eye to shoot the sniper ...

You know, since you said that, I've just come to a realization...

Spoiler:

Ai at no point was ever around Subaru, so no need for her BO sense to tingle.

lol

Hm...

Spoiler:

Not directly, but close. She had to go into surgery.

I forgot the DB quiz. It was Ai's quiz, but it was funny from what I can recall. Agassi was giving a quiz but Ai cut in I think and gave her own and Agasa couldn't solve it. His reaction was funny.

As for the sniping, I think they were closed...maybe? I don't remember now. I'm sure he had his glasses.

Maybe sunny can answer the last one.

I tried going to see it again tonight but was held up. I got here after it started and they said since I was over 20 min late I couldn't buy a ticket. In the US they wouldn't even care, just as long as they sell a ticket. lol

LOL ok sadly that's what I thought...I guess it's better to leave that for the manga.

Yeah, probably would be better for the manga. Would've been interesting, though.

Ok I should drive home. I have some OT work that must be done by tomorrow. I'm still at the theater. lol

Admit it, you're only there because you're waiting for them to feel sorry for you and let you in so you can re-watch the last 20ish minutes and enjoy some neat

Spoiler:

Subaru/Akai action

once again 8D hurrhurrr

As Ssjup81 said in his previous post,

Spoiler:

the professor did give them a quiz (Cause he has to do this in every movie) But as they all found it rather lame, Haibara decided to give him a quiz of her own. She completely owned him ofc
I'm afraid I don't remember what the quiz was about, and tbh with you, I rarely pay much attention to them as it often require certain knowledge of either Kanji or the Japanese language in general While I do understand a fair bit of Japanese, those kind of things still lacks I'm afraid.

About the climax scene with Subaru sniping... I'm afraid I don't remember those exact details. I was a little too hyped about seeing him in action to actually store that info into my brain archives (;*´Д`)ﾉ Sorry!
