Your audience is absolutely allowed to know more or less than your main character, but remember to consider how they are being presented the story. If they are watching from just over the main character's shoulder for most of the film and then are pulled away into a scene without him/her, it could be very jarring. Remember that your film has a narrator and a point of view, even if they are not explicitly introduced and never directly address the audience. Know who that narrator is (or maybe guide is a better term in a screenplay). Know what their relationship is to both the story and the audience. This will help you know whether or not various devices really work.
