Default The origins of 5.1 audio

Hi,

Can someone tell me when 5.1 sound was first used on film? I've read that Disney pioneered the feature, then it was used on Superman and Apocalypse Now. But when did anything other 2.0 audio really become a staple ?

Many older films still don't have 5.1 audio, so I assume that if the audio is not mastered in 5.1 at the time then it will never be able to be issued in 5.1, is that correct?

Thanks.
