When was the last time the top four at the weekend box office took in at least $30 million (or just under)?

Looks like Little Mermaid wasn't that big of a failure after all?

It's still a miss. With a $250 mil budget, usually you've got to do 2X-3X that number just to break even, and that's basically where they are -- or maybe not even since promotion was so heavy on this film. Since half is coming from overseas, under $600 mil worldwide (or just under) means they either lost a little at worst, probably broke even at best. So no, not THE worst performance of this summer, but it's not what they were aiming for.
The way these are working now, if you're spending $250-$300 mil on a movie, the aim is $1 billion worldwide to really be profitable. That's why Disney's had such a rough summer, none of their films hit like BARBIE did, and also in that perspective, shows why DUD OF DESTINY is such a disaster.

That's a good question, it's probably been a while. And also, possibly, a long time before it happens again.

This is why the biggest success stories this summer have been the franchise pics that have capped their budgets around $100 million, like
Super Mario Bros.,
Barbie,
Across The Spider-Verse and
TMNT: Mutant Mayhem ($70 mil!). Even with advertising taken into effect, each of these cost under $200 million, and all have turned a healthy profit. Meanwhile, even a movie which opened soft and had surprisingly good legs (
Elemental) will still be lucky to break even because it cost $200 million.
