While it may not have the same wow factor as saving Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man has done a real-life heroic feat for New Yorkers by bring $210 million to the state's economy.

Here are the details of the super-sum Sony contributed filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2, according to Variety:

New York has been pushing hard for projects to be filmed in the state, offering tax incentives for film productions. While it might seem crazy that a New York icon like Spidey would be filmed in Toronto or Chicago, that sort of thing happens all the time. Hopefully our favorite web-head's return to the Big Apple is a permanent move.
