I just came back from visiting a branch of Ritz Camera, which is a large US photography chain, intending to buy some film. They didn't have any. Of any kind. At all.
Their reasoning was that there wasn't much call for it any more, but if I really wanted some, they suggested I buy a disposable camera, and salvage the film out of it. So sad.
This is a large chain, but I don't know if all Ritz stores have discontinued film, or if this is just an individual store's decision.
I suspect I should have kept my expectations low, as a couple months ago I went into the same store asking for roll film. Nobody in the store knew what that was.
Cheers,
Dez
