Just use the built-in html module:

import html
decoded_title = html.unescape(title))

as your string consists of HTML-safe sequences (numeric character references).

with this code you got char symbol from ascii rappresentation. 

title = 'Fast & Furious 6'
title = title[:-1]
substring=[x.strip() for x in title.split(';')]
titleFinal = ''

for ch in substring:
    newstr = ch.replace("&#", "")
    titleFinal+=chr(int(newstr))

print(titleFinal)
