Yep, it should.

Note that you'll need to delete your old posters before new ones will be 
downloaded (and, really, that probably also means resetting the field 
that references the poster image by using "Edit Metadata" or "Reset 
Metadata").  And, at least on 0.21-fixes, you'll have to restart 
mythfrontend after getting the new posters (because of the theme cache).
