What this article is
Spider-Man, a superhero character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for comic books published by Marvel Comics, has appeared in film since CBS's 1977 television film pilot, for the program The Amazing Spider-Man. Marvel Comics pursued plans for a feature film in the 1980s in a tumultuous development process that involved multiple directors, writers, and financiers. After protracted litigation over the Spider-Man copyrights, Sony Pictures and its subsidiary Columbia obtained the film rights for $7 million from Marvel in 1999.

How this was measured
Views are Wikimedia's own pageview counts for en.wikipedia, filtered to agent=user so automated traffic is excluded. The baseline is the median of the previous 60 days, which is used instead of the mean so that an earlier surge cannot flatten a later one. The multiple is the day's views divided by that median.
