Odex to Open 28th Detective Conan Film in Malaysia on September 18

Malaysian cinema chain GSC Movies began streaming an English-subtitled trailer for Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback (Meitantei Conan: Sekigan no Flashback), the 28th film in the Detective Conan (Case Closed) franchise, on Tuesday. The trailer reveals that Odex will open the film in Malaysia on September 18.

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!!!."
