Why did The Mortal Instruments fail?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Given the popularity of Cassandra Clare's best-selling Shadowhunters books, 2013's The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones should have seen enough success to spawn a series, but certain missteps sealed the movie's fate as a box office flop. The Mortal Instruments movie follows Clary Fray as she discovers she's from a line of demon-hunting, magic-wielding beings called Shadowhunters.
The Mortal Instruments Was Labelled A Twilight Rip-Off Although the romance subplots are highlights of The Mortal Instruments books, they didn't go over so well on-screen. Because the film hit theaters just a year after the final Twilight movie, it was accused of being a rip-off of the vampire-centric story. The Mortal Instruments does feature vampires and werewolves, but the series' lore goes well beyond that of Twilight.
In addition to altering the first Mortal Instruments book, the movie also attempts to work elements of Clare's later novels into its ending. While the movie versions of Jace and Clary are led to believe they're siblings by Hodge and Valentine, viewers are informed that this isn't the case. This reveal is saved for the third book, City of Glass, but the film throws it in regardless.
Although the later Mortal Instruments books rectify the unsavory plot twists of City of Bones, it's difficult for a film to make that promise. Given that the movie works in City of Glass' biggest reveal — that Clary and Jace aren't actually related — it seems it tried to fix the book ending's problems. Unfortunately, all the things it added made matters more convoluted and turned away committed book fans.
