So I am planning on using 50 separate ESP8266 modules to collect data from 50 sensors (pressure and temperature sensors). I want to be able to display each of these 50 values live on a webpage at one time. Is this possible? Where someone looking at the values can see all 50 at once and see them all changing when being measured?
A good start would be to make one controller read one sensor and get data shown on a screen.

Yes, although you would swiftly want to move on to several so you can test the mechanism for specifying which reading came from which ESP.
Quite certainly possible. I'd be looking at AJAX or similar web technologies.

Yeah I already got that working. I am able to read data from one and displaying on a webpage.
So prove it out with two or three and when that's working do more major scaling up.
Why not read sensors being close to each other using the same controller?

This is for my internship, and they want all sensors to be read at once independent of eachother.
Somebody else than You is paying I suppose.
Nonetheless, start with one, make it automatically update, add a second, then a third, and then adding the rest is just more of the same (though at 50 of them you may run into scaling problems).
