The Hook in Atlantic City just upped its entertainment game — Here’s what’s new - Metro Philadelphia

Today, Oct. 24, 2026, marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Taylor Swift‘s self-titled debut album. It would take at least a few years before anyone really thought of this as a monumental or transformative event — for country music, and then for pop, and then for pop culture as we knew and continue to know it. Who could have known when she was singing about looking for “A Place in This World” while being on “The Outside” at 16 that she’d go on to become the music world’s ultimate insider and biggest star? A visitor from the future making any such claims in October 2006 would’ve been laughed back into his time machine, as Swift’s team was virtually begging to interest journalists in interviews and strugglig to convince country radio to take a chance on a kid who checked off exactly zero of the right boxes. It’s unknown whether Swift is baking a cake or doing anything else to celebrate her baby turning 20. She’s not marking it by doing anything so obvious or fan-servicing as putting out a deluxe version of “Debut” (as it’s come to be informally called, for expedience).

You may remember Masters of the Universe came out in theaters in June without really making much of a splash but blew up when it landed on Prime Video. According to director Travis Knight, that was intentional on the studio’s part, and it’s not something he totally agrees with. While talking about his latest flick, Wildwood, with the Hollywood Reporter, Knight said he didn’t entirely get why Amazon was more focused on Masters‘ future viewership numbers. “Its life on streaming was much more important to Amazon than its life in the theaters,” he said. “It’s not something I understood going into it. I wanted their faith in us as filmmakers and in the movie to be rewarded in a way that wasn’t to my hopes and expectations.” Though he’s since accepted the outcome, Knight still thinks Masters of the Universe “deserved a better fate than it got.” Theatrically, it made $113 million worldwide, but again, its streaming numbers were pretty big in July. Within a week of hitting Prime Video, it had 1.17 billion minutes worth of view time, making it the most-watched media in that period.
