"We are especially looking at high tech solutions as well to aid in our sanitization techniques, including the use of electrostatic sprayers, HEPA vacuums and wherever possible, upgraded MERV 13 air ventilation filters," the report read.

In March, AMC shuttered all of its theaters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, reported a first quarter loss of $2.17 billion, according to the earnings report.
