If a corporation buys the rights to a published work does that mean the work never becomes public domain?

No. If a corporation buys the rights to the work, it just means that the ownership interests have been transferred. The work still has the same duration (which, if it was created after 1976, is the life of the author plus 70 years), and it will go into the public domain at that time.
