It is thanks to the wonderful people over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD). To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data.
Please note that Oricon’s daily surveys do not cover all stores in Japan, and some data may be missing from the list provided below. To view the list of stores that participate in Oricon’s surveys, please refer to the link provided (or the post here). If you would like to learn more about Oricon and their tracking methods, you may find additional information here. While I have manually counted the number of stores included in the list below, please be aware that there may be some errors, and not all stores are listed on official websites as many are exclusive sets listed to certain retailers. Therefore, it’s important to keep in mind that the number of stores counted may not fully reflect all retailers that sell the product.
Please note that the cutoff point on the Blu-ray general sales chart for the week was 1,487 copies whereas on the DVD chart, that would be 477 copies. Therefore, any releases denoted with “N/A” below have sold less than the amount stated.

Analysis
In terms of copies sold, Kurogane no Submarine has the best performance thus far amongst Detective Conan‘s latest four films. Kurogane no Submarine has marked a major 107.48% against the 39,583 copies sold for The Fist of Blue Sapphire, and whilst the gap has reduced against The Scarlet Bullet, that is still a 54.66% increase in sales. Against Halloween no Hanayome, the growth is rather flat with a small upgrade of 0.53%.
That said, the revenue for Kurogane no Submarine in its first five days is slightly less than that of Halloween no Hanayome as consumers opted for the much cheaper DVD sets than the Blu-ray editions. For instance, Halloween no Hanayome sold a total of 57,386 copies worth of Blu-rays (for both editions) whereas Kurogane no Submarine sees the number down to 54,703 copies (for both editions). To compare, Halloween no Hanayome‘s DVD sales in its first five days put them at a total 24,305 copies, Kurogane no Submarine on the other hand, is at 27,422 copies.
With all editions accounted for, Kurogane no Submarine sold 565,978,100 yen (≈3.845 million USD) worth of discs in its first five days, 0.21% less than the 567,147,400 yen (≈3.853 million USD) made by Halloween no Hanayome in its first five days.

Analysis
“Oshi no Ko” marks its weakest debut performance to date with Volume 6 unable to improve against its previous five volumes. The latest is down significantly by 28.76% against Volume 1’s 8,391 copies, however, the difference in sales narrowed consecutively against the next three volumes by 11.96%, 6.20% and 4.00% against Volume 2, Volume 3 and Volume 4.
In total, the debut sales alone for “Oshi no Ko” stand at 39,793 copies with a revenue of 290,652,000 yen (≈1.97 million USD).
Considering stores not tracked by Oricon, it is not too farfetched to say that the series has exceeded 50,000 copies sold in lifetime sales in Japan. In addition, there are special store sets that may have escaped Oricon’s tally when the figures are reported such as the KADOKAWA Store set, Amazon.co.jp set and many more that can be found here.
