Rite Here Rite Now has been extremely popular, achieving a total gross of $2.65 million. Entering the Top 10 in North America, it has become the highest-grossing hard rock cinema event ever in North America. Ghost’s Tobias Forge and Alex Ross Perry helmed the directing duties of the movie.
The soundtrack of Rite Here Rite Now will be released through Loma Vista Recordings. Order it here.
Band leader Tobias Forge says:
“Over a decade ago when Ghost got signed to Loma Vista, Tom Whalley (owner and CEO) asked what the story of the band was. He felt telling a story was vital in order to get new fans engaged. I said that because we were a new ‘baby’ band and more importantly we were an ANONYMOUS baby band, there wasn’t really a compelling story to tell. Not yet anyway. But I told him that if he wanted a story, I could come up with one. This film is the fruit of that conversation.”
Director Alex Ross Perry adds:
“Collaborating with Tobias to expand the saga of Ghost into a feature film has been a wicked delight. This movie allowed us to be inspired by everything from silent horror to ‘The Great Rock n’ Roll Swindle,’ from Ralph Bakshi to ‘KISS Alive II.’ The influences were many, but above all, the ultimate goal was to make a one-of-a-kind feast not only for Ghost fans, but all lovers of the cinematic alchemy between rock spectacle and spooky delights.”
Popecorn Cinematic Pictures produced Rite Here Rite Now.
