Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. -- Kiosk operator Redbox sued 20th Century Fox, challenging the Century City, Calif., studio's new rule that Redbox wait 30 days after Fox DVDs are released.

The suit was filed Tuesday after Fox announced terms of its new distribution terms and directed wholesalers not to sell new release titles to vending operators until 30 days after street date, beginning with the fall release of its "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," Variety reported Wednesday.
