Good point. I hadn't thought of that- That such a personal book may 
be better promoted when people can directly buy it vs. being given 
something that the giver may be interested in, but not necessarily 
the recipient.

Some folks love it:

I had a few laughs watching the short clip on youtube, but I probably 
will not see the film in a theater.

It may be that booksellers would regard the book as less likely to 
sell as a Christmas gift, but it's actually better for Lynch if it 
goes on sale after Xmas, because the bookstores will be flooded with 
people who got giftcards as gifts, instead of going through all the 
hassle of mailing books which the recipient may not want anyway.
