Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway Remains at the Top of the Box Office!

Japan's most beloved detective is once again dominating the box office! The 29th film in the series, Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway, has maintained its momentum since its release, successfully holding onto the number 1 spot on the Japanese box office charts. The production, which fans were eagerly awaiting, has continued its opening week success, leaving no room for its competitors and proving itself to be one of the strongest anime projects of 2026.

While activity continues at the top of the box office charts, the 2026 Doraemon film, which was released in March, has slipped to fourth place. Other notable productions in the top 10 include Cosmic Princess Kaguya!, The Ogre's Bride, and the popular series Golden Kamuy. The fact that Detective Conan remains at the top, leaving behind a giant competitor like Doraemon, is a testament to the high quality of the film's storytelling and action.

The Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan) legend, created by Gosho Aoyama and running since 1994, has become a Japanese tradition with its films released every April. Following the massive records broken by previous films such as The Million-dollar Pentagram and Black Iron Submarine, Fallen Angel of the Highway is expected to follow a similar path of success. The series is known for having a vast fan base not only in Japan but worldwide, and it raises the bar a little higher with every new film.

So, what does this success mean for fans? As Japan's "Golden Week" holiday approaches, Detective Conan's dominance at the box office guarantees that the film will be one of the most-watched anime productions of the year. With its mystery-filled plot and the return of beloved characters, Fallen Angel of the Highway looks set to be a frequent topic of conversation in the coming weeks. If you are a Conan fan, we can say that this year's adventure offers a satisfying experience in terms of both emotion and action!
