Odex to Open 28th Detective Conan Film in Singapore, Indonesia in September

Odex announced on Wednesday that it will screen Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback (Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback), the 28th film in the Detective Conan (Case Closed) franchise, in Singapore in September. In addition, Indonesian cinema chain CGV Cinemas also revealed on Wednesday that Odex's screening of the film in Indonesia will similarly open in September.

The film opened in Japan on April 18. The film opened at #1 at the Japanese box office, and earned 3,438,626,700 yen (about US$24.15 million) and sold 2,314,690 tickets in its first three days, a new opening-weekend record for the franchise.

The film takes place in the snowy mountains of Nagano prefecture, and a previous visual depicted Conan on a snowboard. Yamato — an inspector in Nagano with an injured left eye — and Kogoro — a major character whose last major role in a film was back in the ninth movie Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths in 2005 — both appear in the film. Taka'aki and Yui, who are also from Nagano, also appear in the film.

Katsuya Shigehara (unit director of Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine) directed the film. Takeharu Sakurai (various Detective Conan movies) wrote the script. King Gnu performed the film's theme song "Twilight!!!."
