BEIJING - "Django Unchained" was back on Chinese theater screens on Sunday more than a month after the movie was suspended due to "technical reasons."

The oscar-winning film, which is Quentin Tarantino's first commercial release in China, is not expected to be a big winner in terms of ticket sales as it faces fierce competition from other blockbusters, according to analysts at mtime.com, a popular entertainment website.

Tom Cruise's sci-fi adventure "Oblivion," debuted on Friday, with "Iron Man 3," by American director Shane Black, currently the box office champion. Also showing is "The Croods," a cartoon set in the stone age.

There will also be competition from domestic productions like "American Dreams in China," a drama by Hong Kong director Peter Chan, which is scheduled to open on Saturday.

A statement posted on mtime.com said "Django Unchained" is expected to rake in 60 million yuan (9.68 million U.S.dollars) at Chinese cinemas.

An official with Saga Cinema in downtown Beijing late Saturday said tickets for the opening showings of "Django Unchained" were still available.
