Filmack has continued selling copies of Let's All Go to the Lobby in the decades since its production and estimates that 80% of independent domestic theaters have screened the advertisement. The film historian Daniel Eagan wrote that it is likely the most-viewed snipe and that it was ubiquitous to the American theater-going experience of the 1960s. The well-known scene of the animated concessions has frequently been parodied in popular culture. In 2000, Let's All Go to the Lobby was selected for preservation in the US National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[2][3]
