Blockbuster video and Hollywood video

[Mayfriday0529]

Blockbuster wants to acquire Hollywood video but Hollywood video doesn?t want to give in.

Hostile Take over

How can another company just eat another company even if they don't want to sell?

All they need is 51% of the stock to own the company.

yes i understand that part, but how can they achieve 51% if the board has most of it and the rest is owned by the public etc.

do they just start buying every off little by little until they reach the 51%?
