Not always. Since "Psycho" Hitchcock didn't allow advanced screenings of his movies (kinda obvious why on Psycho's case). I think David Lynch didn't allow either, and I've heard of a few good films who also didn't - I can't remember which ones.

Oh there's lots of exceptions, I didn't mean to indicate that was the *only* criteria. I used to help runs advance shows at a bookstore I managed and trust me, we screened LOTS of crap in advance. LOTS. And I inmagine there aren't *too* many plot points to truly spoil in ROTS...
