It's surprisingly hard to get updated numbers. Even the Boxoffice and NATO websites don't have the info (or at least, not easily found). On Wikipedia I found this:
quote: As of June, 2010, there are close to 16,000 digital cinema screens, with over 5000 of them being stereoscopic setups.
...but it has no reference, so who knows where that came from.
If true though, that would mean the U.S. is about 50% converted by now.
For what it's worth, our film booker predicted to me last summer that film would be around for five years, maybe less. We were already having trouble getting film prints from some companies even then.

'Worldwide, DLP Cinema screen counts showing Hollywood content rose by 67 percent for 2D and 97 percent for 3D, to grand totals of 28,036 and 18,637 screens respectively.'
That leaves out Sony installs, which shouldn't be too complicated to find on the net, as they have a large number of chain installs and fewer single screen installations.
Note that '97 percent for 3D' doesn't mean that TI DLP has 97% of the 3D DCI market. That passage means 'increases in 2010', that is, 3D DLP installs nearly doubled in 2010. I'm not sure though how TI get's the 3D numbers from their sales alone or how they deal with mixed 2D/3D screens.
