According to records, many theaters sold out of gifts in less than 10 minutes after opening for sale. The scene of fans crowding and standing under the sun from 7am hoping to own the special gift became a viral image on social networks.

Conan has never been out of fashion in Vietnam, but with this movie, everything has gone beyond expectations. The keyword "Conan Movie 28" quickly climbed to the top of trending, while fan groups are constantly active with thousands of posts showing off tickets, badges and predicting the content. Previously, Conan Movie 27 created a box office earthquake with a revenue of 119 billion VND, an unprecedented number for an anime film in Vietnam. With its current performance, many people are confident that the new movie will take the throne, becoming the best-selling anime in the history of the Vietnamese box office.

Directed by Katsuya Shigehara, a new face in the Conan team. Afterimage of One-Eyed has a detective - action thriller color. No longer the familiar scene in Tokyo, this time the audience is taken to the cold snow-covered mountains of Nagano, where a mysterious avalanche at the Nobeyama Observatory opens a series of thrilling events.

At the center of the case is Inspector Yamato Kansuke, who is known for his tough demeanor, but now finds himself in a dangerous situation when he becomes the target of a hunt. Accompanying him are policewoman Yui Uehara and his close comrade Morofushi Hiromitsu, nicknamed "Kong Ming" because of his extraordinary reasoning ability. If the previous films often revolved around Conan and his group of students, Movie 28 is the shining moment of the extremely beloved police trio. The complex relationship, both quarrelsome and close-knit between Kansuke - Yui - Morofushi, has created a unique attraction, making viewers unable to take their eyes off.

In the climax, Morofushi plays the role of strategist, helping to untangle each knot, revealing Kansuke's hidden dark past, a plot that is considered to be "extremely sharp" compared to previous parts. At the same time, Conan and Kogoro Mouri are still the key pieces, using their analytical ability and intuition to gradually reveal the conspiracy behind the seemingly natural accident.

Despite the absence of legendary couples like Ran – Shinichi or Hattori – Kazuha, this film still makes fans "buzz" thanks to the delicate love line between Kansuke and Yui, childhood friends who have gone through life and death together in cases. A handshake, a worried look in the middle of a snowstorm is enough to make the audience "fall in love".

Conan Movie 28, Afterimage of One-Eyed is not only an entertaining work but also a real box office storm, converging all the elements of a thrilling script, beloved characters, a novel setting and a smart promotional campaign. With a huge achievement on the first day, this is definitely a formidable opponent in the 2025 summer revenue race.

Conan Movie 28 is not just a new case, but also a journey to explore the past, friendship and sacrifice. The snowy setting, hidden conspiracies and top-notch deductions make the film an unforgettable mark in the Conan series.
