A box office hit (my first) sure is a nice way to lead into the summer hiatus. It's especially nice since I'm pretty convinced that 'Oedipus Rex' is not going to work at the box office - at all. I'm just not sure there's a real large audience for a classic Greek myth with no big action scenes and a main character in a situation that is definitely difficult to relate to.
The numbers for 'Green Arrow: Year One' are so good that I am going to go ahead and make AT LEAST another two Green Arrow movies, maybe more. Green Arrow may not have Batman or Superman's rogues gallery, but I think that the Green Arrow film series can be one in which the hero is the most interesting character instead of the villain. That's definitely the case with 'The Question'. I've already written the second 'Question' film (which finally has a title), which has a decent/realistic villain (a corrupt politician). I have since started working on a third 'Question' film, but I have run into the problem of not having a real villain propelling the plot along. So instead of a main villain, I'm thinking of having Vic Sage square off against one real villain and then the rest of the time he'll just be fighting thugs and gangs.
