Seems like they always take movies that didn't need to be remade and remaking them into just plain awful reboots. Has the opposite ever occurred? I can't think of one. Excluding cult classic B movies like Godzilla and Planet of the Apes.

I didn't really like the original Mad Max, but the remake was fantastic.

I thought of The Thing and The Fly, but no idea if the originals count as shitty. Would think the remakes blew them out of the water though
 
The Shinnig. the remake tv series was better than the movie.
 
I think IT probably qualifies.

While I absolutely love Tim Curry in the original, most everything else about the movie is pretty damn subpar.
 
Not sure Hollywood has ever gone out of their way to remake a shitty movie. Seems counterintuitive.

But they have either remade, or readapted from the original source material, a handful of movies that were as good or better than the original.
 
The Wizard of Oz 1939 was the fifth and best OZ movie.

Well I'm thinking maybe a director liked a concept but not the execution. For example District 9 imo is a really interesting concept but I didn't like the direction they went with it. Not saying its a bad movie but I think it could have been much much better
