It was reported at the release memorial event in Tokyo today that the 23rd Detective Conan feature

film Konjyou no Fist/The Fist of Blue Sapphire earned an impressive 422,465,000 yen on 313,724

admissions on its opening day, which surpassed the opening day box office record of the previous

22nd film Zero the Enforcer one year ago.

The 110-minute film will no doubt dominate this weekend's box office in Japan, beating the Doraemon

anime franchise's 39th feature film Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicle of the Moon Exploration which has

dominated the Japanese box office for six consecutive weeks.

Zero the Enforcer made a gigantic 9.18 billion yen from its domestic run and has become the top-grossing

film in the 23-year-old anime franchise. If The Fist of Blue Sapphire can keep this strong momentum,

the franchise's box office record will be broken again soon.
