This is just a guess, but they might have assumed that at some point in the middle of the run, the movie would have come out by now instead of being in developmental hell and given them a big boost to the budget and a retail presence. That might still happen in a couple of years, but with the numbers they currently have, they can't wait it out any longer if that's what they were thinking.
