A380 could be saved?

Hi, just putting an idea out there for discussion.
The A380 with having so many seats in it, with the advent of Covid19, if that flew with vacant seats for distancing, how do the economics work out vs say a 777-300ER with seats not occupied for the same reason?
Could it work out that its more profitable to use the A380 on that basis.
I'm finding a burn of A380 12-13000kgs/hr 525 seats vs CX 777-300ER 8100kgs/hr 365 seats
However I don't know the proper comparison required, is it cost per seat per mile? and would have to work out the vacant seats for each to work out what could be occupied.
