The information isn't public as far as I know.
I'm sure the division of ongoing profits is subject to a series of confidential agreements between the various entities who come together to sell the game (developer, manufacturer(s), publisher, retailers, and so on). But I doubt the details will ever be made public; these agreements often reflect trade secrets and business judgments that are considered proprietary and thus confidential.
Wouldn't sharing profit with retailers jeopardize a businesses financial position? If I had a franchise like Halo, I'd probably tell them to pay my company just to stock the game. I know there are several confidentiality agreements in businesses, but with most of them you know where the money is heading toward.
