Walt Disney Co., the world’s largest entertainment company, resumed sales of new movies through Apple Inc.’s online store in Japan after halting them temporarily in a dispute over terms.

Disney said in a statement today that the transactions had resumed, after the Burbank, California-based company had said on its Japanese website yesterday that sales through iTunes of films, including “Frozen” and “Thor: The Dark World,” had stopped while rentals of existing titles continued.
