$(".entry").html(function(i, htm){
  var retStr = htm.split("-")[0]
  return retStr+htm.split("<br>")[1];
});

You return only what is placed before the first '-'. You have to add what it's placed after the <br> tag. Code snippet is only for give you an idea. It's a little bit dirty but you can start from it.

May ne you might try:

return htm.replace(/-[^<]+?/, '');
