The actual figure wasn't quoted in the article, but some quick Googling reveals an LA Times article that indicates that the MPAA's budget was $64m in 2009:

If you also correct for that spurious division by 2 but keep the other assumptions, the correct figure for increased revenue should be $120m.
Needless to say, 64 is not greater than 120.

Their budget also covers the entire film rating system, quite a bit of industry research and reporting, and lobbying at the state and federal level for things like tax breaks, union regulations, etc.
