Getting error in "Build Weather App" challenge. But code looks fine.

Please check what is wrong with the assignment in the formatter method. This code works fine in my testing.

Thanks.

Movie.java 
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class Movie {

    private String mTitle;
    private Date mReleaseDate;

    public String getTitle() {
        return mTitle;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        mTitle = title;
    }

    public Date getReleaseDate() {
        return mReleaseDate;
    }

    public void setReleaseDate(Date date) {
        mReleaseDate = date;
    }

  public String getFormattedReleaseDate() {
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
    return "";
  }
}

Hmm. That's odd. I just complete the challenge on my own with the same code and it was working just fine. Refresh the page and try again. Make sure you don't add some character in a different language that looks the same in english.
