Detective Conan Franchise Dominates Vietnam Box Office

Overview

The 29th Detective Conan film, released in Japan on 20 June 2026, opened with the franchise’s strongest debut, pulling about ¥3.5 billion in its first three days. After an early‑screening rollout in Vietnam beginning 18 July, the movie quickly outpaced other releases, generating roughly 80.8 billion VND over the weekend and attracting more than 405 000 viewers. By mid‑July analysts projected a total Vietnamese gross near 200 billion VND.

New data from 25 July shows the momentum persisting. The film, now titled *Conan Movie 29: Fallen Angel on the Highway*, earned about 90 billion VND in its first three days, closing in on the 100‑billion‑dong milestone and again surpassing rival titles such as *The Odyssey*.

At the same time, an AI‑generated video depicting the series’ characters as realistic people went viral in Vietnam, amassing millions of views and prompting lively fan debate about the portrayals. The combined impact of strong box‑office performance and heightened online buzz underscores the enduring regional appeal of the Conan franchise, even as overall cinema attendance remains modest.

The film’s sustained earnings and cultural resonance suggest it will remain a dominant force in Vietnam’s market for the remainder of its run.
