Those figures have literally nothing to do with Autodesk's revenue from
M&E, that's forecasts for the overall entertainment industry (Video
Games/Movies), which pulls in way more money than specialist software
development.

Autodesk's 2013 revenue was $2.31 billion dollars (
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=14224433&siteID=123112),
whilst M&E's overall revenue in 2013 was 194 million (
http://blog.devoncroft.com/2013/02/26/autodesk-media-entertainment-revenue-down-16-in-q4-fy-2013-down-10-for-full-fiscal-year/),
making M&E total only 8.4% of the entire corporate revenue.

Sadly there's no way of telling how much of that 8.4% is generated by
Softimage seats/subs. You could juggle up some numbers based on the
petitions, making a huge assumption that each signature = 1 softimage
licence and come up with a pretty tiny percentage contributed to even M&E's
revenue, let alone Autodesk's.
