Southeast Asian film distributor Odex announced on Thursday that it will hold a fan screening of the Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter (Meitantei Conan Kara Kurenai no Love Letter) anime film in the Philippines on July 1.

The screening will take place at SM Megamall in Metro Manila, and will cost ₱1300. Moviegoers will receive a signature card signed by original manga author Gōshō Aoyama, a porcelain cup, an A4-size clear folder, and an A2-size poster.

Odex will screen the film for its wide screening in the Philippines on July 12. The company also screened the film in Singapore and Indonesia, and will screen the film in Malaysia and Vietnam.

Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter opened in Japanese theaters on April 15. The film sold 987,568 tickets and earned 1,286,928,000 yen (about US$11.88 million) in its opening weekend, setting a new opening weekend record for the franchise. The film also topped the Japanese weekend box office chart in its first weekend. The film has earned more than 6.5 billion yen as of last Sunday. The amount again sets a new record for the Detective Conan film series, beating the 20th film in the franchise, Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare, which earned 6.33 billion yen. The film is the fifth film in a row to set a new franchise record.

The film is a love story set in Osaka, and features Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama. The visual (pictured above right) shows Momiji Ōoka, a high school karuta champion who refers to Heiji as her future husband and is a romantic rival for Kazuha. She appears in the manga for the first time in the 91st compiled volume, which shipped on December 16 in Japan, and this film was her first anime appearance. Satsuki Yukino voiced the character.

Kobun Shizuno, the director of the last six Detective Conan films, returned to direct the film at TMS and V1 Studio. Takeharu Sakurai also returned from earlier films to write the script based on Aoyama's story, and franchise composer Katsuo Ono again provided the music.

The following cast members from the television anime returned for the film: Minami Takayama as Conan Edogawa, Wakana Yamazaki as Ran Mōri, Rikiya Koyama as Kogorō Mōri, Ryō Horikawa as Heiji Hattori, Yūko Miyamura as Kazuha Toyama., and Daisuke Ono as Muga Iori.
