Good point, although they could do August 15th to be at that and give room.
Of course they could also be thinking after Fantastic Four opening Disney+ (a week later) and seeing a new show will get some people back in the MCU groove.
I just don’t see how 4 episodes of streaming competes with a theatrical release. Nobody is like “Man, I’d like to watch that new Disney+ show, but I’m going to go to the theater and forget it even exists!”
People will just do both (if they’re interested in both).

I should clarify, competes from a news cycle/marketing perspective. Most people aren’t going to know that Eyes of Wakanda exists.
Next weekend the headline is going to be “Fantastic Four rises/falls in the box office” and not “Eyes of Wakanda shows us an exciting/boring world”.
15th is a holiday in parts of Europe, could be that they don’t want to premiere anything on that date
