27th Detective Conan Film to be Screened at Anime Expo
Detective Conan fans have exciting news: The 27th film of the series will be shown in a special screening as part of Anime Expo 2026. Released in Japan in April 2024, the film made history as both the highest-grossing in the series and the top box office earner in Japan for 2024.
According to the official announcement, the film's screening at Anime Expo offers a rare opportunity for international fans to experience this record-breaking film on the big screen. Gosho Aoyama's Detective Conan universe has reached millions of fans as a manga and anime series since 1994, and the annual films draw great interest. The 27th film earned full marks from critics, especially for its suspenseful script and visual effects.
The film's Japanese title is 100万ドルの五稜星 (The Million-Dollar Pentagram). The story follows Conan Edogawa and his friends as they try to solve the mystery of Shinichi Kudo's shrinking while encountering a mysterious organization in pursuit of a valuable gem. The film broke the series' fastest opening weekend record, earning over 3 billion yen in its first weekend.
Anime Expo 2026 will take place from July 2-5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Screening date and ticket details have not been announced yet, but the event schedule will be released soon. This news has excited Detective Conan (Case Closed) fans, especially in North America, and is seen as a sign of the series' global popularity. Past Conan films screened in limited capacity at Anime Expo have drawn great interest, and similar demand is expected this year.
