Wednesday, February 14, 2024 saw entertainment company TOHO release a new trailer for the upcoming new Detective Conan anime film, which is the 27th movie in the franchise’s history. The promotional video revealed and previewed the theme song for the upcoming film, which is set to open in Japanese theaters on Friday, April 12, 2024.
The new Detective Conan anime film is fully entitled Detective Conan: Hyakuman Doru no Michisirube, which translates to Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Five Guiding Stars. The film will mark the second theatrical release for the franchise this year, with the first being a separate compilation film entitled Detective Conan vs. Kid the Phantom Thief. This compilation film opened in Japanese theaters on Friday, January 5.
The new Detective Conan anime film will not only mark the 27th overall in franchise history, but continue the franchise’s streak of releasing a new anime film nearly every April month since 1997. The lone exception to the streak is April 2020, which saw that year’s film delayed to April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects.

By June 2023, the 26th film sold roughly 9.26 million tickets for 13.12 billion yen (about $91.7 million USD), surpassing Jurassic Park to become the 25th highest-earning film of all time in Japan. It has since grown to become the 19th highest-earning film of all time in Japan, and is second only to The Super Mario Bros. Movie in terms of films released that year in Japan.
