Film isn't dead - its just going to be different, likely with different
players

When looking at the photography industry there are four separate markets
that interact
        - Colour film - significant decline in sales & margin
        - Digital image - significant increase in sales
        - Colour print (digital & film) - steady increase in sales with
margin pressure
        - B&W Film & print - significant decline in sales & margin
        - Movie  - steady increase

In the last few years Colour film & B&W has declined in the 'industrialised
world. Sales off between 25 and 50% (with the sales to the retail channel
falling faster as retailers decline their stocking levels). In the
'developing world' colour film sales are up. However, this increase isn't
keeping pace with the other market's decline - there is an overall colour
film decline (highest in the 'pro-level' films)

Movie film has sales growing 8-10% annually, as does colour print.

I found this link in another newsgroup. Interesting that nikon is
introducing a new fim camera in the F series.
