Rite Here Rite Now

Rite Here Rite Now is a concert film built around the Swedish rock band Ghost, shot during two sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2023. It pairs live performances drawn from the band's five albums, along with the song Mary On A Cross, with a narrative thread that continues the story told across the band's long-running series of webisodes. Tobias Forge, who leads the group as Papa Emeritus IV, directed and wrote the film, which is his first feature and his first time behind the camera.

The film is credited to two directors, Forge and Alex Ross Perry, whose earlier work includes Listen Up Philip and Her Smell. The cast is made up of the band's performing members, among them Hayden C Scott, Per Eriksson, Cosmo Sniderman, Justin Taylor and Laura Scarborough, with 28 people credited in total. Jonas Åkerlund, Kristen Mulderig and Rick Sales produced.

Made for a modest budget of 2 million USD, the film took around 5 million USD worldwide, a solid return for a release of this kind. Audience response has been strong: on IMDb it holds 8.6 out of 10 from roughly 2,200 votes, and on TMDB it stands at 8.9 out of 10 from 93 votes. The two are close, suggesting a warm reception among those who sought it out.
