Mm, not sure on this one, as I'm not a big fan of making the TV shows big movie tie ins. I love the modern Spidey franchise, but am unsure I'll watch Daredevil.

It's kind of a Marvel tradition. It was a great way to sell more books if you could tell grand stories across multiple titles and tie them all together in one limited edition series where all events coalesce. It was also extremely frustrating for kids with limited funds and a book store that couldn't guarantee getting all the comics needed to complete the story. Captain Capitalism has great power, true believers!

On the positive side, though, it did expose many of us to books we never would have checked out before and I'm sure the producers of those less popular books loved a tie-in with the X-men or Spidey when they were struggling with sales.

I fail to understand why these idiots release "release dates" for a movie they don't even have.
Never shot a foot of tape. Never secured a single location. Never fit a single costume.
But these morons want to create hype.

If the studio don't change their mind.

Part of it is hype yes. But release calendars are created at least 2 years in advance. I'm not sure why you think they are "morons."

Part of announcing it is to reserve the weekend. No other big tent movie will touch that date now

It’s more than part of it. It’s all of it. Certain weekends historically are the best weekends to debut a movie, especially during summer and holidays so studios stake their claim as soon as they think it’s reasonable to do so.

I am surprised that they’re putting this on the calendar just one weekend behind Nolan’s next that summer. All of their premium screens will go right to Nolan’s movie, immediately choking off a bit of extra income for Spidey.
