Get ready to go shopping Shadowhunter’s! Sony Pictures Consumer Products announced the first round of merchandise for ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,’ film based on the first book in Cassandra Clare’s Internationally popular series.
Once again, Sony demonstrates their faith in this franchise. “The long-term potential of this franchise was very attractive to us at Sony when securing the merchandising rights,” says Greg Economos, senior vice president, global consumer products, Sony Pictures Entertainment. “The brand continues to gain recognition, and we are seeing a lot of retailer interest, particularly after the trailer released in theatres with the last installment of Twilight. Our focus is to secure strong footholds in the U.S. and Europe, with the brand before expanding into Latin America and Asia.”
