That's like saying there's no drama if you watch the film a second time.

And there's more to drama than when a given character will die.

I perhaps overstated it a bit. But there is certainly less drama.

I will admit that there is inherently less drama if you know for sure that someone won't die in a scene that is basing its suspense on the question: Will he die?

However, I still think you are overestimating it. I think it's extremely common to create suspense that is 100% contradictory to what the audience knows.
