It definitely moves at stores around here.
The only ones that don't are the X-Men First Class comic packs. A lot of that I think has to do with the price hike though. When a comic pack costs more than two single carded figures, it's just less likely to move. The comic packs just don't make financial sense to the customers anymore, though the occasional must have figure keeps them moving. (Silver Samurai, Quicksilver-wonderman, sinister-gambit, warlock, ant-man.)

Legends seems to have a few figures sit for long amounts of time from each wave. The first few shipments around here sold out, but now I'm starting to see a few peg warmers sit. Sadly none of which is the blue ghost rider. T_T

Definitely a good point about the movie-lines and feeding into MU. It is a great way to push more figures out without having to always make a new mold and recoup more costs on existing molds.

We'll see more MU coming, but probably not until the summer really kicks off. Right now it's mostly movie-hype and pushing legends, but the MU scale is too much perfection for reuse across multiple brands if needed. Plus it doesn't hurt that many of them can be reused again later for Marvel Movies and vice-versa.
