Marvel could have picked literally any day after they delayed the October 6th release, and they specifically chose to go head-to-head with the Justice League, so it's clear it has plenty to do with attempting to stunt perception of a competitor's movie. Hell, the 10th would've been the perfect date, since the 11th is Veteran's Day. Which is kind of the Punisher's thing.

So yeah, the 17th is definitely a dig at DC.

To be the devil's advocate here, I don't really think veterans would want to be associated with a show like that, which focuses on a veteran who uses his time in the military to kill criminals, so that may be also why they didn't pick that specific Friday either.
