There's no reason for Marvel to move Cap back a year or to July 4th. Jesus, you people don't get it, do you?
Captain America has THE best release date of 2011. May 6th. The first week of May is a better release date for a new franchise than July 4th. On July 4th, patriotism won't be enough to make Cap a success; it's a new, unproven movie franchise, and would get lost in the shuffle with a July release date.
In early May, it will open uncontested to at least 80 million dollars, with maybe an additional 40 million outside of the United States, by the time Potter 8 or Spidey 4 came out, Cap would've made all of it's money back.
If anything, Spider-Man 4 will suffer from Captain America and Harry Potter. Captain America will have uncontested press, draw first blood in summer 2011, and probably get great reviews.
In closing Cap will bomb in the July 4th spot. Cap will be a HUGE success in the May 6th spot. So unless they plan on moving it to May 2012, Don't move Cap. Cap in july will fail. Cap in May of any year will succeed.
