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, debut 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 ) 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.
