Just to show you all what a geek I am, I have statistics.  The weekend of July
24, PoA was showing in 1008 theatres in the US.  Last weekend (Harry's
birthday!), it was down to 605.  So yes, it is starting to leave theatres.  I
got these numbers from Yahoo Movies, and I was tracking it to see if Harry's
birthday had any effect on the box office, but it didn't, at least not in the
US.  The receipts per theatre were about the same for both weekends, though, so
at least the theatres that are still showing it seem to be pretty full.

And for the people who mentioned "It's Harry Potter" as a valid reason for
spending extra money, I totally agree.  I have the US and UK versions of the
books too, and I bought a Canadian DVD of the first film, just so I could hear
them say "Philosopher's Stone" 3 times.
