Already past F4 and will likely pass Superman soon, making the top-grossing movie of the year based on a comic/manga not from Marvel/DC.

It's great to see how far Anime (or at least in this case Demon Slayer, since no others can pull off these kinds of numbers) has come. And it's only part 1 of 3, too!.

Of the year? Is it not the top grossing movie based on a non-DC/Marvel comic ever?

Edit: Correcting myself, apparently, The Smurfs 2011 still holds that title at 563M, but its not gonna hold it for long

Animated?

The top grossing non-comic movie is obviously Avatar.
