Yes, after Dumbledore is dead. But there is no Dark Mark cast over the
Astronomy Tower as a lure for Dumbledore and Harry, which makes their
appearance there - and Draco's knowing where to find them - inexplicable in
the context of the film.

Snape was on the tower before Harry got there, if I hadn't read the book I
would presume Snape told Draco to go there and wait. In the context of the
film, that makes perfect sense and is how I presumed the film was suppose to
work.

The dark-mark as a lure was not possible once they took brooms out of the
equation, they no longer had to go to hogsmead first, they wouldn't see the
dark-mark, they wouldn't rush to the tower. Technically, the dark-mark is
supposed to be cast AFTER someone is killed, so using it as a lure made no
sense. 

As  for Draco, well, how did he know they'd be there in the book??? Also how
do you cast the Dark Mark only over the astronomy tower? I think this was a
conundrum that Rowling wrote which wasn't filmable as written. But the Dark
Mark, as you suggest, does not lead Draco to the tower in book or film. In
the end, Draco has to simply know somehow they are gone and will come back,
most likely judging from the conversation between DD and Snape (the fact
that they have one) it's a set-up for Draco to be there. That makes sense to
me and the film covers enough ideas to make it seem plausible. 

It's the 'no one challenges the death eaters' thing and Harry not petrified
that ruins the scene.
