This one I admit is rather obscure. The & is actually &amp; because of xhtml entities. The same thing happens with <(&lt;) >(&gt;).

So this works:
Code:
 category=>Percy Jackson and the Olympians &amp; Related Fandoms - All Media Types$=>Percy Jackson & The Olympians
But I suggest instead considering:

Code:
 category=>.*Percy Jackson.*Olympians.*=>Percy Jackson & The Olympians
That will catch everything that contains 'Percy Jackson' and 'Olympians' in that order without regard to what appear before, between or after those strings.

@thatblondelady: Good guess about the regex escaping, but & isn't a regex special character. They are: [\^$.|?*+()

I'm adding something to the wiki page about replace_metadata about this.
