Man of Steel was a hit. Not a juggernaut hit like Avengers but it did solid box office. I have no doubt that any Marvel movie that gets released in the same week would hurt both movies since the audience would be divided. It would be bad business for both. I don't think it would matter who won. Both would be losers.
Yep, both studios have a mutual interest in each others success in order to keep the superhero genre alive-and-well in film.  The war over the early May weekend has been going on since it was proved viable in the mid-90's, long before Marvel laid claim to it.
