Her movies were decreasing after the second film.

But I think a character driven blockbuster series on the level of Hunger Games recent enough for even the youngest of ERB's target audience to remember, pretty much screams worthy to me.

There's no character that I would say that ERB HAS to use. But I had to list 20 movie characters, or 10 book character, specifically for relevance/worthiness Katniss would probably be there.

As far as this:

"I can't even remember the last time I saw or heard someone mention Hunger Games itself."

I think the concept of Hunger Games (while arguably not 100% original) is really influential. Just to name a few examples, didn't ERB wiki just a year ago or so have a popular "Hunger Games Simulator" blog series? Minecraft installed a battle mode mini-game less than a year ago, which is based on Hunger Games (complete with cornucopia) and is called "Hunger Games" by the fans.

IDK, people talk about Hunger Games all the time. I'd say Hunger Games influence kind of exceeds its box office. People bring it up whenever they talk about Jen Lawrence (who also has a huge internet following). They talk about it when people talk about movies like Divergent. And people talk about it when they talk about females in the movie industry.

IDK. I think of this in comparison to Austin Powers, a 13 year dead franchise with semi-classic status. I feel like if Hunger Games was 10 years old nobody would say that it "lost relevancy", but because it's like 2 years old, they do. That always seemed silly to me, and this isn't the only thing they do it to.
