I think X-Men: Age of Apocalypse comes out a week after as well.

Warner Bros. has moved the debut date of its Superman/Batman movie from June 26, 2015 (see "Batman/Superman Team-Up Film in 2015") to May 6, 2016, the same weekend that is slated to see the debut of an as-yet-unnamed Marvel movie. This may not be the last shuffle of superhero movie dates for the spring of 2016. Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse is currently set to open a week later and Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 3 is close behind.
Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. is giving the Superman/Batman date to Pan, Joe Wright’s 3-D action movie updating of Peter Pan. The switch to the June 26th date keeps Pan from having to open against what is expected to be a blockbuster comedy Ted 2 from Seth McFarlane and Universal and keeps the Superman/Batman film from having to open between a Fantastic Four movie and a reboot of the Terminator franchise. Deadline also reports that an unnamed Warner executive denied rumors that the delay in Superman/Batman is due to a leg injury sustained by Ben Affleck who is playing Batman.
