How do remakes like 'The Ladykillers' appeal to their modern day audience?

Two words, "special effects!"
All appeals are subjective. If you have seen the old movie and enjoy it, you may seek out the new movie as a sense of familiarity. An example of this is Karate Kid.
If a parent were to relate the movie to a familiar one, the odds of them seeing it is likely increased. henceforth, the children may also see the movie, increasing it's gross. If you are from a later generation and have not seen the older version of a movie, a remake appears as an original to you, and holds the original appeal.
It is like reading a book, then seeing its corresponding movie as a result. often the movie leaves out a lot of the parts you read in the book, but you still like to see the story captured in video.
Whether or not the value of a remake is worth the production process; remakes help tie old stories into modern culture, as exemplified by the remake of The Ladykillers.
A common opinion of many film-watchers of today is that when a movie is made well the first time, there is no need to try it again- Once made right, it cannot be improved upon.
Many movies, like Clash of the Titans, were not "done right the first time", and yet the argument persists. (they still failed to get it right).
It is oft' true that movies are remade, in essence, to "milk the series" (Make profit with no regard to production value). Examples of this are Jaws2 and Jaws 3, Rocky 5 and even Titanic 2. (*spoiler alert* the boat sinks)

The new version Ladykillers didn't fair so well (IMDb rating 6.2/10) compared to the original (IMDb rating 7.9/10). For those who enjoy dialogue, it was very funny and clever However, trends in the modern audience seek simpler entertainment.
Overall, remakes that do not use CG to re-vamp action quality do poorly in today's cinema.

Did Lillian Russell ever record any phonograph records?
She may have been contractually forbidden to do so as this might have hurt her stage audience (gate) something like media blackouts on (Home) baseball and football games to (protect) the stadium audience. I have never seen any and many old timers such as Nellie Melba certainly recorded- and were re-mastered for modern formats. There may have been legal angles here. By the way, strictly speaking she never did Grand opera, though did perform Light Opera.
