Some insight from inside the TMNT World

To be fair, and it's not that I don't want to see Mirage TMNT doing gangbusters in sales, but I don't think the sales of a given comic have ever had anything to do with whether or not a faithful adaption gets to the screen.

I don't think Hellboy over at Dark Horse Comics was ever pulling Batman or X-Men sales, yet Guillmero Del Toro had a couple of hits under his belt, chose Hellboy as his next project, and nobody in Hollywood effed with him or tried to change his vision.
