The trio escapes to the Shadowhunters' hideout, the Institute, where Clary and Simon meet two other Shadowhunters, and, and their leader,.

The film was originally due for release on August 23, 2013, but was pushed back two days earlier, on August 21, 2013. The film secured broad European distribution deals at Cannes.The film premiered on August 12, 2013, at the in Hollywood. Marketing According to the, $60 million was spent on marketing.
Kulzer, Constantin's co-president, stated '$60 million has been spent worldwide on prints and advertising.' And went on to explain the importance of managing expectations. Home media The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was released on and on December 3, 2013, by.Reception Critical response Review aggregation website gives the film an approval rating of 13% based on 119 reviews and a rating average of 3.9/10. The site commented that ' The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones borrows ingredients from seemingly every fantasy franchise of the last 30 years—but can't seem to figure out what to do with them.'
At, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100, the film has a score of 33% based on reviews from 35 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews.' 's Robbie Collin gave the film one out of five stars, saying, 'This gothic teen fantasy is one of the most disastrous page-to-screen adaptations in memory'. Collin added 'the plot is an incomprehensible tangle of dead ends and recaps, and afterwards you realise only two things have stuck: the story's countless unsubtle borrowings from very recent pop culture. And a brief aside in which we learn one of the earliest demon-hunters was.' Michael Rechtshaffen from also gave it a negative review, saying, 'Certainly not the first and very unlikely the last studio attempt at launching a / franchise of their very own, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is a bona fide saga all right—just not in a good way' adding 'Despite the overstuffed assortment of vampires, werewolves, warlocks and demons of all shapes and sizes, The Mortal Instruments seldom feels like anything more than a shameless, soulless knockoff.' Also gave it a negative rating of 1 star out of 5; critic Jordan Hoffman wrote, 'This one is by far the worst of the Twilight copies. And when that bunch includes and, that's saying something.'
Hoffman added, 'Despite an avalanche of back story, the film is merely an excuse to hop from one spookily dressed set to another. Alas, the titular City of Bones is more of a basement. Other than a gag about a cache of weapons beneath every church altar, there's hardly a moment of levity or imagination. For a film that is wall-to-wall fantasy, you've seen all of this before, in much better movies.' Tom Keogh of also gave it a negative review, stating, ' City of Bones is so overwhelmed by CGI effects that it amounts to white noise for the eyes. Far worse is the way director Harald Zwart can't establish a mature tone to support some of the story's genuinely bold and challenging elements, especially a forbidden-love theme that deserves a more serious context'.
A more average review came from film critic Stephanie Merry of, who said, 'To be fair, there are elements worth celebrating. The film is thankfully less self-serious than the mopey films. The Mortal Instruments revels in its own camp.' She added, 'But there is plenty of room for improvement. The action flick is overly long, complicated and, even by teen romance standards, cringe-worthy in its cheesiness.' David Blaustein from also gave the film an average review of two-and-a-half out of five stars, saying, 'Director Harald Zwart unsuccessfully tries to compress teen angst, love, passion, unfulfilled dreams and action into an overzealous, over-the-top, never-ending finale which seems about as well planned as throwing rocks and sand into a blender in the hope that if you blend it long enough at high-enough speed, you might wind up with a delicious milkshake.' He then added, ' The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is not a very good film by any stretch of the imagination.
However, it does possess a slick, beautiful, young-adult aesthetic and a supernatural, emotional yet nonsensical love triangle that the film's target demographic goes crazy for.' Venetia Falconer of gave the film a positive review, with a score of 4 out of 5 stars, posting, ' The Mortal Instruments more than lives up to its hype of 'The New Twilight'. The special effects are impressive, the battle scenes enthralling and there is solid acting from all members of the cast. The film's main strength is that it perfectly hits the right balance between drama and comedy.' Cinema audiences responded more positively than critics. Viewers who saw the film on the opening Wednesday, gave an average grade of B+, according to market research firm. The audience was 68% female and 46% under the age of 21.

Forbes also made comparisons with Beautiful Creatures and The Host, and called the five-day weekend gross 'a full-blown disaster' as well as 'the biggest bomb of the weekend'.Executive producer Martin Moszkowicz blamed the weak opening in the United States on 'a strongly competitive environment', including competition from and, as well as strong holdovers The Butler and We're the Millers. Moszkowicz was confident, saying it was still too early to call, with the film still rolling out release in more territories worldwide.As of October 10, 2013, it grossed $31,165,421 at North American box offices and $59,400,000 internationally, bringing the worldwide gross to $90,565,421.The Hollywood Reporter described the film as a 'major in-house flop' and contributing to studio Constantin's losses for the 2013 year.

And TV head Martin Moszkowicz told The Hollywood Reporter that 'It actually makes sense to do (the novels) as a TV series.
