Actually a child can see an R rated movie in a movie theater as long as a "responsible" adult is with them.
That is why my mother went with me to see Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was 16 and you had to be 17 to go to an R movie. Note I think it has since been re-rated. I saw my first R movie "The Deep", when I was 10. My 6 year old brother went too. Our 18 year old cousin took us.
It is another movie that has been down rated to PG13.
The only movies a child can't go to in a theater are NR and X.
All other ratings are just guidelines.

Now on bad books for kids: Flowers in the Attic. Everyone I know that read it was 12 and 13.
