Django already has earned north of $400 million worldwide, including $241 million overseas, making it Tarantino's most successful film to date.

Django stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kerry Washington. Last month, Waltz won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his performance in the movie.
