What George Lucas film made for 750000 is considered the most profitable in Hollywood history?

That would be Star Wars: A New Hope (1977).

While the production budget was indeed around $750,000, it's important to note that:

* This is only the production budget - it doesn't account for marketing, distribution, or other expenses.

* The film's true profit is much higher - it grossed over $775 million worldwide, making it a massive box office hit.

* The film's profitability continued to grow thanks to merchandise, home video releases, and sequels.

While it's technically true that the film was made for $750,000, that figure alone doesn't tell the whole story of its profitability.
