The box office of "American Graffiti" is very successful. The North American box office of over $115 million is 92 times the cost of filming. Even the total rental of video tapes is as high as 55.88 million. The film has thus become the film with the highest profit margin in film history. The so-called "summer blockbuster"blockbustercomes from this. Lucas and Coppola once had a red face due to box office profit control issues, which affected the friendship between the two. The success of the film made Lucas a millionaire. In order to thank the visual consultant Wexler and the radio DJ "Werewolf" Jack, who played his role in the film, Lucas gave them a large dividend. At this time, Lucas’ net worth was 4 million U.S. dollars. He set aside 300,000 as the preparatory fund for "Star Wars" . The future Lucas The film company and Industrial Light & Magic are also in agreement with "American Graffiti". Profit is inseparable. In 1995, the film was listed as a culturally, historically and artistically significant film by the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
