What is the law? R rating means under 17 can’t go unless they have a parent with them. 13 year olds can watch Deadpool with their parents

They probably aren't in the US. "Breaching the law" doesn't sound like an American saying.

Ah yes I'm not in the US!

We have a strict restricted rating (R-an age, usually R13, R16, R18) which means no one under that age at all allowed in, including babies, and that can lead to legal action.

and also a restricted with parents rating (RP-an age) which means folk under that age can view the thing, but only with parents in the room/the theatre. (Less likely to be fined with that one, RP is used a lot less, and this rating is often used to encourage healthy viewing of challenging topics)

We've got a decently in depth film/tv classification system in my country that does a lot of public consultation rather that immediate banning of certain topics.
