Bohmian mechanics is just many worlds in denial, for people with prior ontological beliefs they can't give up.
The entire wave-function is there in the theory, containing all the "worlds" and it's responsible for 100% of the dynamics.
Additionally, Bohmians add a single "world particle" indicating which world we are in, and it's guided by the wavefunction. They claim only that particle is "real", but since it has no effect on the state of the universe, I would call it the only part of the theory which isn't real.
