Demi Moore's Comeback: What to Expect from the Crime Comedy 'I Love Boosters'
Demi Moore Returns to the Big Screen
Renowned Hollywood actress Demi Moore, celebrated for her performances in iconic films like Ghost (1990), A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Margin Call (2011), is making her return to cinemas with the upcoming crime comedy titled I Love Boosters. This film is set to hit U.S. theaters on May 22, 2026, under the direction of Boots Riley, known for his acclaimed work on Sorry to Bother You. Currently, I Love Boosters has garnered an impressive 94% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting a positive early reception.
As the release date draws closer, analysts are closely watching the film's box office projections. According to Box Office Pro, I Love Boosters is anticipated to earn between $5 million and $7 million during its opening weekend in North America. This forecast has sparked curiosity about how it will stack up against Moore's last theatrical venture, The Substance, a body horror film that premiered in 2024.
For I Love Boosters to exceed the domestic earnings of The Substance, it would need to pull in at least $17.6 million in North America. The Substance, which had an $18 million production budget, opened with $3.2 million domestically, resulting in a domestic opening-to-earnings multiplier of 5.5x. If I Love Boosters follows a similar trajectory, it could potentially earn between $27.5 million and $38.5 million domestically, based on the same multiplier.
These initial projections indicate that I Love Boosters might surpass the earnings of Moore's previous film, although these estimates are still in the early stages and will be adjusted as the release date approaches. The storyline revolves around three shoplifters—Corvette, Sade, and Mariah—who make a living by reselling high-end fashion items. Their plans take a twist when a powerful designer, portrayed by Moore, appropriates one of their ideas, leading them to target her fashion empire.
As excitement builds for I Love Boosters, both industry experts and fans are keen to see how the film performs at the box office and if it can achieve the success indicated by early projections. The true measure of its performance will become evident after its release in May.
