The 20th Detective Conan film, Meitantei Conan: Jyunkoku no Nihtmare/Detective Conan: Pure Black Nightmare, was released on 348 screens (11 less than originally scheduled due to the Kumamoto earthquake) across Japan on April 16. It grossed an impressive 1.292 billion yen on 933,800 admissions in its first two days, easily surpassing the anime franchise's previous opening weekend record of 874,762,300 yen marked by the 19th film Gouka no Himawari/Sunflowers of Inferno last year. The 20th film is expected to earn over 5 billion yen (Sunflowers' total gross was 4.4 billion yen) from its domestic run.

Meanwhile, the 24th Crayon Shin-chan film Crayon Shin-chan: Fast Asleep! Dreaming World Big Assault! ranked second in its first weekend, and Assassination Classroom: Graduation Edition finally ended its box office domination in its fourth weekend, dropping to third.
