So I watched Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine (名探偵コナン 黒鉄の魚影（サブマリン）) again.
The movie is into its third week in Japan, and this was the third Saturday since it started screening. And it was more or less a full house... with lots of kids and adults. I guess one cannot underestimate the power of a series that will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next year. Breaking through 5.8 billion yen in 10 days, it looks set to achieve that 10 billion yen mark that has escaped Conan movies in the past.
One thing that I couldn't figure out. Haibara Ai called Conan "Kudo-kun", "Shinichi-kun", and "Edogawa Conan-kun" (more or less in this order) as the movie progresses. I am sure there is some subtle meaning behind this change in how she called Conan. Hopefully, I figure it out (either by asking a Conan fan in the family, or watching some YouTube videos).
