Reader’s Question:
Is the screening of Detective Conan: The Phantom of the One-Eyed still ongoing, or has it already ended?
Detective Conan: The Phantom of the One-Eyed – A Cinematic Journey
So, I recently found myself deep in conversation with a friend about the latest Detective Conan movie, “The Phantom of the
One-Eyed.” She was curious if it was still screening, and honestly, it got me thinking about my own experiences with anime films in the theater. I remember the excitement of going to see the last Conan film. The atmosphere was electric, filled with fans who were just as eager as I was to see what twists and turns the story would take. I arrived way too early, of course—like, I was the first person in line, clutching my popcorn like it was a prized possession. I spent the time people-watching, chuckling at the little kids trying to reenact scenes from the series. There was this one kid who dramatically pretended to solve a mystery using a toy magnifying glass. It was adorable! Back to my friend’s question: based on what I’ve heard, the screenings for “The Phantom of the One-Eyed” are still ongoing, though the number of daily showings has definitely decreased. I mean, it’s not unusual for these films to have a longer run in theaters, especially with the big fanbase they attract. I’ve noticed that some theaters are still showing it, albeit with just a couple of showings a day. It seems like around mid-July, many places might still be screening it, which is pretty cool! I can totally relate to those who might be wondering if they missed out. It’s always a bit of a gamble with timing, right? You think you have all the time in the world, and then suddenly, it feels like the film is gone before you know it! I remember missing a screening of a beloved series once because I thought I could catch it the following weekend, only to find out it had vanished from the schedule. Talk about a heart-wrenching moment! If you’re still thinking about catching “The Phantom of the One-Eyed,” I’d say check your local listings. Maybe plan a fun outing—grab some friends, head to your favorite snack bar (I can never resist nachos), and dive into the mystery of Conan once more. What about you? Have you caught any screenings recently? Or maybe you have a favorite memory tied to a movie that left an impact? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
