I honestly doubt CN expects Doc Savage and the Shadow to be worth that much. Judging by their past actions, they just seem to want to maximize their profit off the property, regardless of its worth on the market. That'll probably keep people away from it, therefore, when they see what CN wants to charge.
They lost their chance to market it when Indiana Jones was big... and now retro adventure is getting tired. At this point, they might as well sell at a loss.
