Inclusive of the screenings on June 20th through 23rd, the unique feature-length concert/narrative film entered the global Top 10 box office at No. 9 with a total gross of $5.04 million worldwide* from limited showtimes.
Rite Here Rite Now, which screened in 1,800+ cinemas across 49 territories, combines never-before-seen 2023 concert footage of Grammy Award-winning rock band, Ghost, with a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band’s long-running Chapters series, directed by Ghost’s Tobias Forge and Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell).

“Having wanted to make a movie for most of my life, I was overwhelmed to see the interest our fans showed in the film before it was even released,” shares Tobias Forge. “Now as people seem to have not only seen it, but also seem to dig it… That really gets my motor humming. Thank you all!”
Rite Here Rite Now: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, mixed by Rich Costey, will be released worldwide on July 26th via Loma Vista Recordings. A fitting 18-song complement to Ghost’s debut feature film, the band’s first-ever original soundtrack will be available on all formats. The new studio recording “The Future is a Foreign Land,” was revealed to the world during the film’s opening night, and the live version of “Absolution” is an instant grat track.
