The Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer anime film opened in China on November 9 and earned 80 million yuan (about US$11.5 million) in its opening weekend to rank at #2 on the weekend box office.
However, 2016’s Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare film underperformed at the box office with only 31.12 million yuan (about US$4.48), so 2017’s Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter film did not open in Chinese theaters.
By November 18, the film had earned 120 million yuan (about US$17.2 million or 1.9 million yen) on about 7,000 screens.
The film surpassed One Piece Film Gold, Boruto -Naruto the Movie-, and the live-action Gintama film in China.
