Answer 1

Well, for your specific case:

$row="Слуга народа (1 сезон: 1-24 серия из 24) (2015)";

if(!($str=strpos($row, "/"))) $str=strpos($row, "(");
echo $row=substr($row, 0, $str);

Answer 2

As an option:

$array = [
    'Слуга народа (1 сезон: 1-24 серия из 24) (2015)',
    'Хоббит: Битва пяти воинств / The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) DVDScr | CAMRip',
    'Левиафан (2014) WEBRip-AVC'
];

echo "<pre>";

$delimeters = ['/', '('];

foreach ($array as $str) {
    foreach ($delimeters as $delimeter) {
        if ($position = strpos($str, $delimeter)) {
            echo substr($str, 0, $position) . "\n";
            break;
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

Maybe so?
$str - input data, where each line is processed separately.
