You're right but it could depend on how good the remake is to a person. Like, I recall watching The Ring in theaters and picked up the DVD at the time and watched it once or twice if anyone who visited me wanted to see it. At the time, i was atmospheric enough for me to enjoy a second or subsequent time. Admittedly I haven't seen it in years and haven't felt the urge to put it on. Dark Water or Ju-On remakes were boring to me, watched those only once.
