I thought kids couldn't see R-rated movies in theaters without parent supervision.

I remember being turned away from a ticket counter for that.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure you legally can watch an R-rated movie, it's just the policy of the theater that you don't.

This is correct. This is also the reason why you would be hard pressed to find a venue that would show an NC-17 rated title in some places since most major theater chains refuse to show NC-17 rated films as policy.

Voluntary self-regulation by the film industry. The MPAA is to movies what the CCA used to be to comic books.
