First of all, only those things done by Naotaka Hayashi are considered canon. It is a fact and not made up by fans. There is more S;G content which is not considered canon, the movie is one example.

As for why the movie doesn't follow the same rules: It doesn't follow the one most major that there exists only 1 worldline at a time. Rest are just possiblities. This rule isn't followed in the movie.

Another thing is Kurisu meeting with Okabe when he was a child. She herself 'becomes' a child for a moment. Like seriously?

One more thing is when Okabe 'existed' again, the future changed. So no reason for Suzuha to come back now, hence the worldine should change. But it doesn't. We know from the fact that Robotics;Notes is set in the S;G worldine (1.048596% divergence), the worldine doesn't change. Which contradicsts what happens in the movie, where past is changed.

Have you even read the VN? if not I would recommend it. You will understand more about what I mean as the time travel mechanics are told in much more depth than the anime.
