I suspect that might be a little over-optimistic. I don't know 
what's "local" for you, but here in Birmingham (and surrounding 
areas), the dozen or so multiplexes are taking CoS off tomorrow 
(Sunday). One or two will still have a couple of showings next 
weekend, and one still has three shows daily until Thursday but 
that's it for them as well (just my luck - it's about an hour's 
travel each way for me to get there!).

As for half term, it should be noted that Wild Thornberrys comes out 
on 7th February, and Treasure Planet on the 14th for that audience 
(for most schools, half term will be w/c Monday 17th February). I 
don't see any of the cinemas around here reintroducing CoS after it's 
been off for a couple of weeks, even if spare auditoria could be 
found.

Incidentally, Die Another Day (released a week after CoS) and Star 
Trek Nemesis (released 3rd Jan) have already disappeared from all 
Birmingam cinemas, so CoS has really done well for itself still to be 
in the UK top ten last week!

GulPlum AKA RIchard, who's just come back from his 30-somethingth 
viewing (I lost count several weeks ago but have a collection of at 
least 28 ticket stubs, the earliest of which is dated 28th Nov!) and 
was surprised to be in the company of a sizeable audience!

I might just go again tomorrow as it'll probably be my last chance...
